Robert 'Chris' Hall, LPC

 

I bring a unique blend of sensitivity, compassion, and expertise in my role as a counselor, to create a safe and supportive environment for clients.  Bringing a calm presence helps to invite clients of all ages - children, adolscents and adults- to tackle challenges head-on.  

My approach is grounded in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and strength-based, practical problem-solving techniques. Marriage and relationship counseling approaches are centered on Gottman methods, in addition to variety of other counseling theoretical approaches the meet the client's needs.

​

My academic and professional journey is a testament to my continued dedication to my clients through a commitment towards furthering knowledge and expertise.   I hold a Masters of Science degree in Education, majoring in clinical mental health counseling, and a Bachelors of Science degree in Human Services, both from Old Dominion University (ODU).  During my academic terms, I completed internships at an outpatient facility, providing invaluable services in domestic violence-batterer interventions and substance abuse counseling.  Coupling my academic skills with my role as a Stephens Minister, further contributes to my proficiencies with providing support for those suffering with depression, anxiety, grief, and loss
