Kitty Hall, LCSW

Kitty Hall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with four years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history of working with older adults and additional years supporting school-aged children, which shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach. Kitty works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also helps with career strain, self-esteem, ADHD, and other life changes.

Her practice combines compassionate listening with goal-focused work. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to match what a person needs. In sessions she aims to make things clear and manageable, breaking worries into concrete steps and skills to try between meetings.

Kitty has spent many years supporting the geriatric community and has experience with hospice and end-of-life issues and caregiver stress. That background informs how she supports people through loss, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Her style emphasizes respect, empathy, and building on strengths.

She works with individuals from varied backgrounds and focuses on helping people find balance and practical change. Kitty invites clients to set achievable goals together and to track progress week by week. To begin, she asks people to share their concerns and priorities so sessions can be tailored to each person’s situation.

How Kitty’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building long-term purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional intensity tied to those experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kitty will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions stay practical and focused on measurable progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not detailed in the profile. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or let them avoid travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to continue care through life changes, and licensed professionals adapt exercises and EMDR protocols for remote settings when appropriate.
