Dr. Lawanda Hall

Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage strong feelings and everyday stress. She brings 21 years of experience to work with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. Her approach is kind and straightforward, aimed at helping clients build skills they can use outside sessions.

She holds a doctorate in Behavioral Health and uses practical methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and increased self-awareness. Dr. Hall describes her role as a guide who supports people while they try new ways of coping and relating.

In the room she draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

People often come for help with family and relationship stress, parenting strain, caregiver fatigue, or the emotional impact of illness. She also addresses long-term concerns like attachment or abandonment and shorter-term problems such as coping after a loss or separation.

Dr. Hall aims to make therapy practical and teachable. She works to strengthen resilience, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming reactions. If someone wants steady support and clear strategies for handling anger or life changes, she offers a calm, experienced presence.

To begin, clients complete an intake and match questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on available times. This helps set clear goals and pick the best steps forward.

How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Hall uses client-centered methods that focus on listening closely and following the client’s pace. This approach helps people name what matters most and set goals that feel relevant to their lives.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, and low mood by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer flexibility for people living outside Tennessee while maintaining regular therapeutic support.
