About Dell
Dell Lawson is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on clear, practical support for everyday problems like communication breakdowns, parenting strain, grief, and low self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
With 25 years of experience, Lawson draws on methods that fit each person's needs rather than one fixed plan.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize listening, identifying patterns that cause pain, and testing small changes that can make life easier. She prioritizes skills you can use between meetings to manage emotions and handle conflict more effectively. People come for help with relationship difficulties, money and financial stress, midlife transitions, aging and geriatric concerns, and the fallout from separation or infidelity.
She also supports those coping with isolation, anger, impulsivity, or the emotional impact of disasters and military-related issues. The focus is on practical steps for the problems you describe. Her work blends client-centered talk with cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical skills, mindfulness practice, and solution-focused planning.
That mix lets her shift between exploring deeper feelings and working on concrete behavior changes. Clients can expect a collaborative process built around their goals. Lawson practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.
She aims to help people build resilience and clearer ways of handling stress, so daily life becomes more manageable and purposeful.
How her approach translates to online therapy
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely to understand what matters to you and then follows your lead to set goals and priorities. This style is useful for emotional concerns like grief, low self-esteem, or relationship stress where being heard and understood is the first step.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more effective ways of thinking and acting. CBT can help reduce anxiety, depressive patterns, and problems with anger by teaching practical skills you can practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how you handle conflict and impulsive urges. It is often used when people want help staying steady during strong emotional times and learning better coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. This keeps the process flexible and focused on real-life results.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer, more interactive sessions; phone sessions can fit a break at work or when internet bandwidth is limited; live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps you express things more clearly. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
