About Lawanda
Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, caregiving strain, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to help people manage day-to-day challenges and difficult feelings.
Dr. Hall uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide conversations and skill-building. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and motivational interviewing to support decision-making. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.
In sessions she talks through what is happening now, and looks at how patterns from the family you grew up in affect current choices and relationships. Parents and adults who notice repeated family dynamics - roles, expectations, and boundaries - often find this a core topic of work. Therapies address emotional reactions, communication habits, and practical coping strategies.
Dr. Hall also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career pressures, chronic illness or caregiving responsibilities. She brings straightforward guidance, exercises to practice between sessions, and focused steps to reduce overwhelm. International clients may be accommodated; confirm logistics when you book.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and reflection. Online sessions use this approach to help people clarify feelings and priorities, and to shape conversations around what matters now.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this can mean reviewing thought records, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and practicing techniques for anxiety or low mood.
Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment. It is useful for decisions about relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or lifestyle shifts and fits well into short, focused conversations online.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs together and recommend which methods to emphasize. Clients and therapist collaborate to adjust methods as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools like worksheets and shared screen exercises during a session to practice skills and track progress.
