Kitty Hall, LCSW

Kitty Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. She brings four years as a licensed clinician and more than 14 years working with older adults before that. Kitty focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns.

Her work emphasizes clear, practical steps and a respectful, empathetic stance. Sessions center on what matters most to each person and on building achievable goals. Kitty uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and make choices that match their values.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in work with trauma when appropriate, aiming to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Motivational Interviewing informs how she supports people who want change but feel stuck.

Over her career Kitty has spent years supporting older adults and also worked with school-aged children in various settings. That mix of experience informs how she listens for strengths and life context when planning next steps with a client.

In sessions she focuses on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and restoring balance during life transitions. She helps people navigate midlife decisions and other big changes while paying attention to mood, energy, and relationship patterns.

How Kitty’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take actions that fit their values. It is often useful for stress, life transitions, and finding direction during midlife changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, panic, and mood symptoms through small experiments and changes in routines.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. When appropriate, it can help people who carry trauma-related symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and check in on progress as they go.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Kitty is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from wherever they are located within the therapist's permitted region. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular care while balancing work, caregiving, or other obligations.
