About Kitty
Kitty Hall is a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia with four years of clinical practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. Kitty's style is warm and direct, aimed at practical steps that fit daily life.
Before clinical practice she spent more than 14 years working with older adults. That experience shaped how she listens to struggles around aging, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns.
Background and approach
She also has several years of work supporting school-aged children in educational settings. In sessions Kitty uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes. She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people who want help processing traumatic memories. Motivational Interviewing and client-centered methods guide collaborative goal setting and steady progress.
Kitty focuses on clear, achievable goals such as reducing panic, easing caregiver stress, improving communication, or coping with life transitions. She supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, obsessive or compulsive symptoms, and intimacy or family tensions. Sessions aim for useful tools and real shifts that make day-to-day life easier.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small, values-aligned steps. It helps when people feel stuck by anxiety, low mood, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for panic, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process distressing memories so they feel less intrusive and less activating for day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and how you respond to different methods. Together you will decide whether to focus on skills practice, values-based action, or trauma processing, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistency and tailor contact to what works for you.
