Dell Lawson, LPC

Dell Lawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her practical approach is meant for someone who wants clear steps and steady support.

Dell spends sessions listening carefully to what matters most to each person. She helps clients sort out communication problems, relationship issues, parenting strains, and challenges tied to work or money. Sessions aim to create manageable strategies for daily life rather than long labels or jargon.

Her background includes long clinical experience working with adults through transitions like divorce, midlife changes, and aging concerns. Dell brings together cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered listening to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and build better habits. She also uses mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when those approaches fit the situation.

In practical terms she helps people make short-term plans and longer-term changes. That might mean practicing new ways to handle anger, improving communication, or finding structure after a loss. The focus is on concrete tools that can be tried between sessions.

Dell views therapy as a partnership. She works with each person to set goals, check progress, and adjust the plan when needed. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats to make therapy easier to fit into life.

How Dell’s Approaches Work Online

CBT helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and try new ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for day-to-day anxiety, stress at work, and low mood when practical strategies are wanted. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship so clients can find their own solutions; it helps people who need time to process feelings and build self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dell will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, client-centered listening, DBT skills, or a mix of these methods and then adjust as progress is tracked.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
