About Patricia
Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and related areas such as ADHD and grief. Patricia aims to help adults who are managing difficult relationships at home or the pressures of caring for others.
She uses a trauma-focused stance alongside approaches like Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Patricia listens, helps people name what is hard, and works with them to find manageable steps forward.
Her background includes work in both outpatient and inpatient settings. That experience shaped how she supports people facing mood disorders, substance issues, and self-harm concerns. She has also worked with people navigating gender identity and LGBT issues and seeks to make space for honest conversation about identity.
Patricia spent graduate study in professional counseling and holds an LPC credential in Virginia. She has experience across age groups, including adults, teens, and children, and combines short-term strategies with longer-term coping skills when needed.
Outside of work she spends time with her teenage child and enjoys outdoor activities. She also volunteers at a local animal shelter and is often around her five dogs. These personal interests inform a down-to-earth approach to therapy.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Patricia combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people explore what matters to them. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with parenting stress.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotion regulation or impulsivity are concerns. DBT skills teach ways to tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and improve interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger, self-harm urges, or intense mood swings.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies in session, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick techniques that fit the person’s needs and daily life.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the listed biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or short breaks during the day, and some formats can require less bandwidth or no camera. Licensed professionals aim to match session length and timing to the person’s routine rather than expecting large scheduling changes.
