How Dr. Hall’s approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Hall commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-centered work means she listens carefully, follows each person’s lead, and helps them find their own solutions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That way the plan is shaped by the client's needs and feels collaborative rather than prescribed.
Session format options are not listed here, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which can simplify scheduling around work, caregiving, or health concerns.
