About Patricia
Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on helping people facing overwhelming feelings and life changes. She helps with anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and issues that affect daily functioning. Patricia aims to create a space where people can talk honestly and begin to find clearer ways to cope.
She uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. That can include work on thoughts and behaviors, skills for managing intense emotions, and steps to process difficult life events.
Background and approach
Patricia draws on trauma-focused care when past hurts are part of the problem. Patricia has about five years listed as a licensed counselor and experience across outpatient and inpatient settings. She has worked with adults as well as younger clients in clinical environments.
Her background includes a focus on supporting LGBT people and those facing substance use challenges. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect to identify immediate coping tools, try new ways to react to stress, and set small, manageable goals between meetings.
Patricia also helps with parenting stress, grief, mood conditions, and attention difficulties. Outside of clinical work she spends time with her teenage child and volunteers at an animal shelter. She enjoys being outdoors and shares her home with multiple dogs, which reflects her interest in community and connection.

Approaches and online options for managing strong emotions
Patricia commonly uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and experiences. This approach focuses on listening, building trust, and helping people name what matters most to them. It pairs well with cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and handle anger.Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool Patricia draws on for intense emotions and impulsive reactions. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be useful for people who struggle with high reactivity or self-harm urges. She will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches fit their needs and goals rather than applying a single method automatically.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, and ongoing encouragement. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different communication styles until the best fit is found.
