About Kitty
Kitty Hall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. She brings four years of clinical practice and many years working with older adults to her current role. Kitty focuses on everyday problems like stress and anxiety as well as longer-term challenges such as grief and trauma.
She uses straightforward, person-centered care. Sessions center on the client's goals and practical steps to feel better. Kitty draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.
Background and approach
Her background includes substantial work with the geriatric community and time supporting school-aged children. That experience shaped a calm, patient way of listening and setting realistic goals. She pays attention to how life stage, relationships, and caregiving affect well-being.
In sessions Kitty helps people manage panic, obsessive or compulsive worries, mood shifts, and relationship strain. She also supports those facing career stress, caregiving burden, and decisions around aging or end-of-life concerns. Conversations aim to produce clear coping tools and small, sustainable changes.
Therapy with Kitty is collaborative. She helps each person choose approaches that match their needs and comfort level. Practical homework and short-term skills often accompany deeper work on trauma or longstanding patterns.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and trauma work
Kitty uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values-based action so people can move toward what matters even when anxiety shows up.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build concrete skills for managing panic, worry, and mood. CBT sessions often include practice tasks between meetings to try new coping strategies in everyday life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when processing traumatic memories becomes a priority. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions and support longer-term emotional balance when that approach fits the client's needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kitty will discuss options, try methods that align with a client's goals, and adjust over time based on what feels most helpful. Clients set the pace and choice of techniques is guided by their needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets therapists and clients work closely through discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to follow up between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other life demands.
