About Kitty

Kitty Hall is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who draws on Internal Family Systems alongside several evidence-informed methods to support people through emotional and life transitions.

Background and approach

With four years as a licensed clinician and more than 14 years of earlier work with the geriatric community, she combines recent clinical training with long-standing experience in caregiving and support roles. Her practice emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaborative goal setting.

Kitty works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and mood and personality disorders. She also addresses challenges such as caregiver stress, body image, isolation, career concerns, ADHD, and end-of-life issues.

Using tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and client-centered approaches, she helps clients process difficult experiences, reduce distress, and build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on strengths-based plans tailored to each person’s needs and values, with an aim toward greater balance and meaningful change.

Integrating proven approaches into online care

Kitty uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and relate to different parts of themselves in a curious, nonjudgmental way; this approach can be useful for working with internal conflicts, shame, and patterns that maintain distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she draws on to support values-based action and flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, often helping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is also part of her toolkit and is applied when processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional charge associated with past events.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to the client's goals and preferences, and adapt methods so they fit individual needs rather than imposing a single technique. This shared decision making helps shape a tailored plan for progress.

Online therapy with Kitty can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, caregiving, and other commitments while accessing licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
