About Kitty

Kitty Hall is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Virginia who integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with a person-centered, strengths-based stance.

Background and approach

She draws on four years of clinical practice along with more than 14 years of prior work in geriatric settings to support people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. Kitty blends practical skill-building with empathic listening to help clients identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop workable coping strategies.

Her background includes experience across varied settings, including time supporting school-aged children and ongoing work with individuals and families through a personal agency. Kitty is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and uses it when appropriate to assist clients processing traumatic memories and reducing distress.

She aims to collaborate with clients to set personalized, strengths-focused goals that address emotional well-being, family dynamics, and life transitions while making space for values and meaning.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Kitty frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, then work toward practical strategies for change and symptom management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she incorporates to support values-driven action and learning new ways to relate to difficult thoughts and feelings. When trauma processing is a focus, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used to help clients address distressing memories and reduce their intensity.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Kitty works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs and goals, adapting interventions as progress unfolds and preferences emerge. This partnership helps shape clear, individualized goals and a plan that feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it possible to schedule care around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and to continue momentum between in-person appointments when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can tailor format and pace so therapy fits daily life while addressing core concerns.
