About Patricia

Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stressful life transitions and emotional struggles. She focuses on practical steps people can use when anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction make daily life harder. Patricia aims to create a space where clients can speak honestly and work toward clearer routines and goals.

With five years listed in the profile, Patricia uses a trauma-focused outlook to guide her work. She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person's goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are part of her toolbox for teaching skills to handle intense emotions and change unhelpful thinking.

Her background includes experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings. The biography notes experience with children, teens, and adults, and a particular interest in supporting people in the LGBT+ community. She has worked with issues such as mood disorders, PTSD, addictions, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.

Patricia trained at Liberty University for her master's degree in professional counseling and holds a bachelor of arts from Ferrum College. Those academic steps support her clinical practice and how she organizes sessions.

Outside work she spends time with a teenage child, enjoys outdoor activities, and volunteers at a local animal shelter. Her personal interests often inform a down-to-earth, relatable approach in sessions.

How her approaches guide online work

Patricia uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals. That means sessions start by listening to what matters most and shaping the work around those priorities. This approach helps when people need steady support during life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT often includes simple exercises you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance when things feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Patricia will work with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as progress is made.

The profile does not specify which online or remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so clients continue skill practice between meetings.
