About Kitty

Kitty Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with four years of clinical practice and more than 14 years working in geriatric care. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she works with adults across a range of life challenges.

Hall brings direct, practical experience from multiple settings, including work with older adults and time supporting school-aged children. That background shapes how she listens and responds to everyday problems like caregiver stress, isolation, and life transitions. She frames therapy around clear goals that fit a person’s day-to-day life.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used to help people notice difficult thoughts, try new behaviors, and process upsetting memories. EMDR is included when trauma processing is a focus.

In sessions she focuses on concrete skills for handling anger, frustration, and communication breakdowns. Work can include short behavioral experiments, values clarification, and steps to reduce reactivity at home or work. The emphasis is on practical changes that reduce tension and improve relationships.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice stressful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for ongoing anger, frustration at work, and decision-making around relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve mood. That approach often helps with panic, anxiety, and anger management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce the emotional charge tied to trauma; it can be part of addressing anger when past events drive current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, personal preferences, and what feels practical. Sessions can include exercises, values work, behavioral experiments, or memory-processing techniques depending on what you want to focus on.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or remove travel time. Talk with the clinician about session length and setup so therapy fits into daily routines and supports steady progress.
