About Patty
Patty Seahlaigh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. Patty also helps with relationship struggles, parenting concerns, addiction, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Patty uses practical, evidence-informed approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take small, manageable steps toward them.
Attachment-based ideas guide her work with people who struggle with connection and trust. Client-centered principles mean conversations focus on the person in front of her and their immediate concerns. Motivational interviewing can be brought in when someone wants to change habits related to substance use or other behaviors.
In sessions Patty talks through what is happening now, looks at how past experiences shape reactions, and works with clients to build coping skills. The focus is on practical tools for handling flare-ups, managing ongoing frustration, and repairing communication with others. She keeps language straightforward and actionable.
Patty practices in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. For people wanting to begin, she asks a few questions to match needs, then helps schedule a first session and plan next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Patty commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anger that comes from automatic reactions. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values and take small actions that align with what matters, which can reduce repeated patterns of frustration.She also brings attachment-informed ideas into conversations about hurt, trust, and how past relationships shape present reactions. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. Patty will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most.
The practical advantages of remote sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and keeping progress steady without long travel. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Once formats are confirmed, Patty and the client can choose times and a rhythm that fit work, family, and self-management goals.
