About Patricia

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 5 years of experience, Patricia Hall helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, addiction, parenting strain, and questions around gender and sexuality. She works with adults and mentions past work with young people in clinical settings. Patricia focuses on trauma-informed care and combines client-centered methods with practical therapies to address daily struggles.

Patricia uses straightforward talk therapy to help people name what feels off and find manageable steps forward. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation.

Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings. That experience informs how she handles crises, transitions, and complex presentations. She has worked with people across a range of concerns including mood disorders, PTSD, self-harm, substance issues, and identity-related stress.

Patricia trained at Liberty University for her master’s degree in professional counseling and holds a BA from Ferrum College. She practices in Virginia as an LPC and notes experience with children, teens, and adults in prior roles. She also volunteers with an animal shelter and spends free time outdoors with her teen and several dogs.

In sessions she tends to be practical and direct. Conversations focus on concrete skills, coping techniques, and short-term goals alongside deeper trauma work when needed. She helps people balance everyday demands with longer-term symptom work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their lead. In practice this means sessions begin with what matters most now and build from there, which helps with emotional struggles and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing new skills between meetings, and reviewing progress together. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and reducing impulsivity. When used online, DBT often emphasizes skills training, practical exercises, and brief coaching on distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT or DBT and adding trauma-focused work later.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, and sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs. These practical benefits help people maintain regular contact with a licensed professional while balancing everyday life.
