About Lawanda
Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship concerns, depression, caregiver strain, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than vague promises or quick fixes.
Her approach draws on methods that help people change how they think and act when emotions run high. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolbox when someone needs short-term direction and clear next steps.
In sessions she aims to teach skills for handling anger and stress, improve communication, and rebuild trust in relationships. She also helps clients facing trauma, grief, chronic health problems, and caregiver burnout. Practical techniques, homework between sessions, and goal setting are commonly used tools.
Her background includes a doctorate in Behavioral Health and two decades of counseling adults through major life changes. She works with concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, aging and geriatric questions, autism spectrum matters, body image, and cancer-related stress among others.
People who want straightforward strategies for managing strong emotions and improving daily functioning may find this approach useful. The first conversations focus on what is most pressing and what small steps will make life easier.
How sessions work
How Dr. Hall’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client; online sessions use that same effort to clarify feelings and priorities so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down upsetting thoughts and tests new behaviors in everyday life, which works well when clients try brief exercises between sessions and report back on what changed.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. The therapist and client work together to pick techniques and a pace that fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. The main practical benefit of remote work is convenience - it can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that makes sense. Remote work also lets people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth, camera comfort, or the need for a quicker session during a break at work.
