About Patricia

Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She keeps sessions focused and practical so parents can find clear steps to try between meetings. Patricia aims to create a space where clients can speak openly and feel heard.

Patricia uses approaches that center the client's own goals and strengths. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and routines.

Background and approach

Dialectical behavior techniques and trauma-focused work are used when emotional regulation skills or past hurts need attention. Her background includes work in both outpatient and inpatient settings, where she supported people through mood disorders, substance issues, grief, and trauma. Patricia has experience with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, panic attacks, self-harm, and compassion fatigue.

She also supports people coping with identity issues and gender dysphoria. Sessions are designed to be practical and paced to each person. Patricia often teaches skill-based strategies for managing impulsivity, worry, and overwhelm.

She also helps parents with parenting stress and people navigating recovery from addiction. Outside of clinical work she spends time with her teenage child and enjoys outdoor activities. She volunteers at a local animal shelter and is an animal lover with multiple dogs.

Those personal interests shape her down-to-earth, approachable style.

Using practical therapies online for mood and attention

Patricia often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and daily routines. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a plan around what the client wants. CBT offers step-by-step strategies for managing worry, low mood, and impulsive behaviors.

She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation or strong reactions are a challenge. DBT skills teach calm, distress-tolerance, and relationship techniques that can be practiced between sessions. Choosing which approaches to use is a team effort; Patricia partners with each person to find methods that fit their goals and lifestyle.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share updates, ask quick questions, and get brief coaching between sessions. These options make ongoing work more accessible for busy parents and people balancing many demands.
