About Lawanda
Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 21 years of experience helping people who are facing life stressors. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, caregiver strain, relationship conflict, and coping with change.
She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on building skills, increasing self-awareness, and spotting patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also addresses health-related concerns and the effects of caregiving on mood and function.
Her approach draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she listens for each person's priorities, then helps test small changes that can reduce unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when people want shorter-term goal work or help finding motivation to change.
Dr. Hall has experience across many life situations, including grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and anger issues, and transitions like divorce or relocation. She also supports people managing chronic illness, adoption or foster care histories, attachment questions, and body-image concerns.
Sessions aim to be practical and action oriented. People typically leave with clear next steps they can try between meetings. To begin, readers should confirm the current session options before booking so they know how best to fit sessions into their routine.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you so you can steer the work. It helps with making decisions, building confidence, and sorting values when life feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Over a few sessions, she will check what helps and adjust the plan based on your experience and needs.
Confirm the specific session formats before you book since the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting meetings into study or work schedules, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing an interaction that suits their bandwidth and comfort with video. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered work to remote sessions so you can continue practical skill building from wherever you are.
