About Lawanda

Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 21 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, caregiver strain, relationship issues, and major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and practical, focused on finding concrete ways to handle everyday problems.

Dr. Hall uses a mix of approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person.

Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear in sessions when people want help clarifying goals and taking small steps forward. These methods emphasize doable changes rather than long abstract plans. Dr. Hall often helps people set simple, measurable steps and then reviews what worked and what to adjust.

She has worked across health, caregiving, and family-related stress, including chronic illness and grief. The practice also addresses concerns such as body image, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and aging-related stress. Sessions identify immediate coping strategies alongside longer term behavior changes.

People meet with her to work on anger, intimacy issues, career stress, or compassion fatigue. The focus is on practical skills, clearer thinking, and actions that fit each person’s life. To begin, patients use the site matching process to schedule a first session and outline their goals.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Dr. Hall commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions often include homework tasks and short experiments you can try between meetings to see what changes. Client-Centered Therapy is used alongside CBT to listen, reflect, and prioritize what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach focuses on building a respectful working relationship and making adjustments based on feedback.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Expect regular check-ins about progress and adjustments to techniques rather than a fixed program imposed from the start.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the site listing does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people join from different locations if travel is difficult. Discuss with Dr. Hall which meeting structure will best fit scheduling, attention, and comfort so sessions become a practical part of everyday life.
