About Patty
Patty Seahlaigh is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and recovery from trauma. Patty aims to make sessions practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn right away.
She uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and client-centered listening to make sure someone feels heard.
Background and approach
She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps forward. Patty often supports people dealing with grief, addictions, career stress, parenting strain, and relationship problems. She also addresses concerns like attachment issues, adoption and foster care, dissociation, and eating or substance-related struggles.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing life changes and the aftermath of abuse or domestic violence. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Patty helps clients build coping tools, improve communication, and practice new behaviors between meetings.
She prefers to tailor strategies rather than use a one-size-fits-all plan. People seeking help can expect clear goals and step-by-step plans when those fit the situation. Patty combines practical exercises with space to process emotions, so progress feels doable day to day.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports work on issues like anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing concrete changes to reduce symptoms such as worry, low mood, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel understood while they figure out their own next steps.Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods, see what helps, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences. That way the work is tailored to each person's goals rather than following a fixed program.
Online formats offer practical advantages for ongoing work. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or homework support easier between meetings. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, or other commitments while doing therapy.
