About Lawanda
Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She focuses on supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, major life changes, and relationship or family concerns.
Her tone is practical and respectful, and she aims to help people build skills and confidence to manage everyday challenges. She works collaboratively with each person, using plain language and clear steps. Sessions tend to emphasize understanding what’s happening now and finding workable ways to respond.
Background and approach
Dr. Hall draws on methods that teach coping skills, change patterns of thinking, and set achievable goals. Her training includes a doctorate in Behavioral Health, and she combines that background with years of hands-on practice.
She uses techniques from client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the person’s own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, helps address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in concrete ways. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to support change, especially when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps identify small, practical changes that lead to progress over time. Dr. Hall offers sessions from Tennessee and provides services in English.
She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.
Approaches used online and how they help
Dr. Hall often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical tools to test thoughts and try new behaviors.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the person’s goals and values. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at a pace that feels right for the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation guides whether CBT, client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps are used.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging can support check-ins or brief conversations between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into everyday life.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
