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 clear, practical help for everyday problems like anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. Her approach is down-to-earth and direct, aimed at helping people set realistic goals that fit their lives.

Laura has worked in schools, community mental health, hospitals, and private practice. She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Henderson State University. Over the years she has helped people facing relationship and family struggles, grief, trauma, eating and intimacy-related concerns, career stress, and caregiver strain.

She emphasizes listening first and then tailoring a plan that makes sense to the individual. Sessions use examples and real-life tasks so new skills can be practiced between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods are among the approaches she uses.

Laura developed interest in technology-assisted counseling during the COVID-19 outbreak and offers online formats to reach people who cannot attend in person. She tends to be most available for live chat and has some weekend phone or video slots. Messaging is checked at least twice a day and she usually replies quickly.

Her style is open-minded and respectful of different values and cultures. She aims to create a welcoming space where people can work toward clear, manageable goals and make changes that matter in daily life.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist offers space to talk through values and goals while reflecting what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing specific skills and small experiments between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage difficult feelings and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process begins in the first sessions and can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when bandwidth and time allow, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth needs, live chat offers a quick real-time conversation, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and homework between sessions. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while still receiving regular therapeutic support.
