Kitty Hall

Kitty Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She brings four years of licensed clinical work and over a decade of experience serving older adults into each session. Kitty focuses on clear, practical support for people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and life changes.

Her work often centers on the everyday challenges that follow loss and transitions. She helps people manage depression, caregiver strain, relationship and communication problems, and the emotional effects of aging. Kitty also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and issues such as OCD, panic, or bipolar mood changes.

Kitty uses several therapy approaches that emphasize personal values and present-focused skills. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening to shape goals you can try between sessions. She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories when that approach fits the person’s needs.

Sessions aim for straightforward goals and practical tools. Kitty helps people notice what matters most, try small behavior changes, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She also offers support for caregivers and those dealing with end-of-life planning and hospice-related concerns.

Her background includes many years in geriatric settings and time supporting school-aged children, which informs a calm, steady style. Kitty works with individuals from varied backgrounds and focuses on creating clear next steps to improve daily coping and emotional balance.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed steps that match those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the stress of life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than fighting difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them, which is useful for panic, mood issues, and daily coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach for processing distressing memories; when used, it aims to reduce the intensity of those memories and the responses they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they choose methods and plan steps to try between sessions so the work fits real life.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care when managing caregiver responsibilities or mobility limits. A licensed professional will help determine how best to adapt these approaches to an online setting and to the person’s daily routine.
