Shawntia Hall, LCSW

Shawntia Hall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, evidence-based work to help people move forward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other supportive methods to help clients manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Shawntia aims to meet each person where they are and offer clear tools for change.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work, and she also serves as a Qualified Supervisor for Clinical Social Work Interns. With 11 years of experience, she has helped people cope with depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and low self-esteem.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more balanced perspectives. She also uses supportive therapy to help people process emotional distress and motivational interviewing to match goals to a person’s readiness for change.

Shawntia works with concerns that include trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, career shifts, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She focuses on practical skills, straightforward strategies, and steady encouragement.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients can expect clear explanations, step-by-step strategies, and help applying tools between sessions. Choosing counseling is framed as a first step toward improving daily life and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. It often uses short exercises and practical homework that translate well to remote sessions. Supportive therapy focuses on listening, validating emotions, and building coping skills to manage distress in day-to-day life.

Motivational interviewing is a client-focused style that helps people clarify their goals and find motivation for change. It is conversational and collaborative, and it fits naturally into both in-person and remote work because it centers on the person's readiness rather than a fixed protocol.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change, with the therapist offering tools and pacing that match what the client wants to try.

Session format details are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and use short check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to share exercises or worksheets between sessions so skills can be practiced in everyday life.
