Dell Lawson, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Dell

Dell Lawson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps that a worried parent can follow. Sessions are grounded in respectful listening and straightforward skills training.

With 25 years of experience, Dell uses plain language to help clients handle anger, self-esteem struggles, and the everyday pressures of family life.

Background and approach

She pays attention to concrete problems such as communication breakdowns, money worries, and issues that come up around divorce or separation. She also brings experience with aging and geriatric concerns and veterans and armed forces issues. Her approach combines client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to reduce overwhelming thoughts and improve coping.

Mindfulness methods and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolbox when short-term goals are helpful. In a session she will listen first, then help set small achievable goals. Parents often leave with a few practical strategies to try at home.

Over time clients build better routines and clearer ways of talking with family members. Dell asks clients to name the problems they most want to change and works with them to create realistic next steps. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable, not just something to think about.

Her work is steady, practical, and geared toward everyday life in Georgia.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit family life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports parents who need space to talk about family stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives simple tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that interferes with daily life. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills for times of strong emotion or relationship conflict. Dell works with clients to choose the best approach together. She will ask about goals, current struggles, and what feels most comfortable. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match each person's needs and family responsibilities. Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to check in between appointments. They also let parents and working adults try brief focused sessions, practice skills in real time, and get steady support without long travel times.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
