About Patricia
Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, ADHD, and related challenges. Patricia describes her approach as trauma-focused and uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies.
Patricia frames sessions around practical steps. She listens to what is happening now and helps people learn skills to cope with painful emotions. She uses talk therapy and structured techniques to address symptoms such as panic, low mood, impulsivity, and problematic substance use.
Her background includes work in both outpatient and inpatient settings. That experience informs how she helps people manage crises and longer-term issues. She has worked with children, teenagers, and adults in prior roles and notes a particular interest in supporting people in the LGBT+ community.
In sessions she prioritizes clear goals and skill practice. She may use cognitive-behavioral exercises to change unhelpful thinking and DBT tools to manage intense emotions. Trauma-focused methods are used when past trauma is a central concern.
Outside of clinical work she spends free time with her teenage child, enjoys outdoor activities, and volunteers at an animal shelter. She also mentions having multiple dogs.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person's experience and priorities. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping clients set the topics they want to work on. It is useful for building trust and clarifying goals.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which uses structured exercises to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood problems. Dialectical behavior therapy provides practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving coping during crises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That planning guides session focus and which skills are practiced between meetings.
