Laura Hall , LPC

Laura Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arkansas with 11 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people who face stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and challenges around relationships and family. Laura aims to listen without judgment and to work alongside people as they decide what matters most to them.

She trained at Henderson State University, where she earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her work history includes school settings, community mental health, hospitals, and private practice. That variety helps her adapt to different situations and needs.

Laura values straightforward, practical work. She uses clear examples and concrete steps so ideas feel useful in everyday life. Sessions often center on realistic goals tied to a person’s values and routines.

She offers several therapy approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. These tools are used to address issues such as trauma, grief, eating concerns, intimacy, ADHD, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Laura became interested in technology-assisted counseling after seeing how the COVID-19 outbreak limited access to in-person care. She now provides messaging and online options to increase reach and fit different schedules. She checks messages at least twice daily and replies as she can.

People who prefer a down-to-earth listener and practical steps may find her style a good fit. She emphasizes respect for each person’s values and works with clients to set manageable, personal goals.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective and helps people clarify what matters to them and set personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches and can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when schedules and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when a shorter check-in is needed or when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging support frequent, brief check-ins and allow work to continue between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
