About Patricia

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 29 years of experience. Patricia (Patty) Earl helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief, addictions, and a broad range of mood and life-change concerns. She works with issues such as parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Patty describes an approach rooted in listening and thoughtful response. She draws on client-centered practices to focus on each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and mindfulness techniques to address symptoms and patterns.

In practice she offers ways to bring attention to bodily experience and present-moment awareness. That can involve guided mindfulness or movement-based noticing to help people connect feelings and actions. She integrates talk-based work with skills for emotion regulation and problem-solving.

Her background spans many clinical areas including grief, trauma, eating concerns, addiction, and end-of-life issues such as hospice counseling. Patty has worked with cancer, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and forgiveness and life-purpose questions over her career. Her experience includes addressing post-traumatic stress and other mood disorders.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. Online sessions can be used to reflect on immediate concerns and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and offers exercises to change patterns; it works well for anxiety, mood issues, and stress management in hour-by-hour sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be used to practice concrete coping skills during regular meetings.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills practice, reflective conversation, or mindfulness and movement-based noticing.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week by avoiding travel and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule, or sessions that focus on skill practice without needing in-person setup. Ask about current session formats and how a chosen approach will be used in remote meetings.
