Kitty Hall

Kitty Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She brings four years of clinical practice plus over a decade of experience working with older adults. Kitty focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

She works with people who are dealing with relationship strains, caregiver stress, and challenges that come with aging. Kitty also supports clients facing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, panic, obsessive thoughts, and issues with self-esteem or control. Her practice includes concerns around career, money, and finding life purpose.

Her approach is grounded in respect and empathy. She uses client-centered listening to learn what matters to each person and then applies practical methods to help. Kitty draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach skills for coping and shifting unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when working with traumatic memories, aiming to reduce distress and help people move forward. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals and keep momentum in therapy.

In sessions she helps people set personalized, strengths-based goals. The work often includes learning coping skills, practicing new ways of relating, and planning steps for change. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to Kitty's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that matter to them while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to change them, which is helpful for depression, panic, and mood disorders. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional intensity of those memories; it aims to help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and recommend methods that match your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats were not detailed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care while managing work, caregiving, or mobility needs. Ask about specific session formats when you schedule so you can find an arrangement that fits your routine.
