About Patricia
Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and trauma-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Patricia uses straightforward, trauma-focused methods in her work. She listens to what matters most and then helps clients develop practical skills to manage strong feelings and difficult reactions. That can include learning coping tools for panic, mood swings, impulsivity, or recurring guilt and shame.
Her approach draws on client-centered work to make space for a person’s own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anger or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are introduced when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Patricia has experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings. That background shapes how she plans concrete, step-by-step strategies for day-to-day life. She brings experience helping people navigate identity issues, parenting challenges, and substance-related concerns.
Outside of clinical work she spends time with her teenaged child and volunteers at the local animal shelter. She enjoys outdoor activities and counts five dogs among her household companions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s own goals and perspective. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping a person name what they want to change or manage. It helps when someone needs a clear plan based on their priorities.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thinking and behavior patterns that drive anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT involves simple experiments and skill practice to shift reactions and reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are needed; DBT provides concrete tools for handling intense feelings.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life. That includes checking in and adjusting methods as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online appointments can help fit therapy into a busy life by replacing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone join from a quieter spot. Discuss practical scheduling and format preferences when you set up the first appointment.
