About Patricia
Patricia Leigh is a Kentucky-based licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history working with people across different stages of life, and she aims to create an accepting, steady space where clients can address the issues that brought them to therapy. She prefers straightforward, practical work.
Sessions focus on the problem at hand and on building skills that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts, manage overwhelming feelings, and develop more reliable routines. Patricia’s background includes extensive time in education and caregiving, which shapes how she sees development and behavior. That perspective helps her when talking with parents about everyday stress and when supporting people who are coping with grief, loss, or major life changes.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain, and self-esteem issues. She also addresses areas like sleep and eating difficulties, career questions, and feelings of isolation. Her style blends practical technique with a calm, patient presence.
She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and try strategies that fit their life. The focus is on small, workable steps that add up to real change.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify values, feel heard, and make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address obsessive thoughts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions, which can help with impulsivity and strong emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and daily life. If one approach does not suit a person, she adjusts the plan and experiments with other techniques until a workable path is found.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or wearing a camera is a concern, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
