About Kitty
Kitty Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with four years of clinical practice and many additional years working with older adults. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to caregiving and aging.
She previously spent over a decade serving the geriatric community and has also worked with school-aged children across elementary and high school settings. That background shapes how she notices practical strains on daily life and routines. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as talking through immediate concerns.
Kitty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test different ways of responding. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches to help people clarify values and make concrete changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when processing past traumatic experiences is part of the work.
Her work often centers on coping with life changes, caregiver stress, mood and anxiety symptoms, and relationship or intimacy-related problems. Practical skills, short experiments, and check-ins are typical parts of sessions. Progress is measured in small, observable steps toward the goals people set.
People who reach out will complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Kitty Uses Practical Therapeutic Approaches Online
Kitty commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking and behavior patterns that increase distress and to try concrete alternatives. CBT sessions focus on short experiments, skill practice, and clear steps people can use between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and encourage action toward what matters even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. EMDR is offered when trauma processing is needed and involves structured sessions to reduce the intensity of painful memories.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kitty will discuss how these methods could fit the issue you bring, set short-term goals, and adjust the plan based on what works for you. The decision about which method to use comes from the clients needs, goals, and preferences as the work unfolds.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or allowing sessions without being on camera if that better suits someone. Practical benefits include smoother scheduling and the ability to continue work when a commute would be difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep progress consistent with everyday routines.
