About Kitty
Kitty Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with four years of clinical practice and over 14 years of prior experience serving older adults. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.
She has significant background supporting the geriatric community and has also worked with school-aged children from elementary through high school. That range means she has seen how stress and loss show up across different stages of life. Kitty now offers services through a private agency to individuals and families from varied backgrounds.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she emphasizes practical steps, clear goals, and working with the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.
When anger or resentment are the concern, she helps people notice triggers, track patterns, and practice responses that reduce escalation. For trauma and loss, she incorporates EMDR as an option to help process painful memories and lower their emotional intensity.
Kitty favors straightforward, strengths-based work. She helps clients set realistic goals, try new strategies between sessions, and evaluate what is or isn’t helping. People who want concrete tools for managing mood, stress, relationships, or anger often find this practical focus useful.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Kitty often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that match what matters. It can help with ongoing anger, stress, or feeling stuck. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change those patterns and reduce symptoms.She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as an option for processing traumatic memories. EMDR involves guided recall and bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of painful memories and emotional distress, which can ease trauma-related anger or reactivity.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust over time. Finding the best match often means testing a few techniques and tracking what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some approaches require longer or more focused visits, while brief check-ins can work for skill practice between sessions.
