About Dell
Dell Lawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and money and financial issues. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions are framed around what the client wants to change and how to make that happen in daily life.
She draws on 25 years of experience to offer steady, calm guidance during transitions. That experience covers parenting concerns, grief, anger, and adjustments that come with aging or career shifts. The goal is to help people notice what’s getting in the way and try manageable alternatives.
Dell uses a collaborative, client-centered style. Clients set priorities and she helps them test new skills for communication, impulse control, and coping. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Therapy often focuses on specific problems like communication problems, commitment issues, or isolation and loneliness. Dell also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and veteran and armed forces issues when relevant to an individual's situation.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented while still allowing space to understand feelings. People can expect conversations that lead to concrete strategies, small experiments to try between sessions, and regular check-ins on what is or isn’t working.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's goals and strengths and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. It helps when someone wants support that respects their pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and money-related stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interactions, which helps when impulsivity or intense anger get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means checking in and adjusting techniques as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapy from different locations when quieter surroundings or time constraints make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods to work well in remote sessions when those formats are offered.
