About Patricia
Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, addiction, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use in daily life.
Patricia favors trauma-focused work and draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build steady coping skills.
In sessions she talks through what is happening now and what gets in the way of change. Clients can expect clear, manageable techniques for handling strong emotions, for managing impulsivity, and for reducing resentments that build over time. Patricia pays attention to the practical effects of mood disorders and impulsive behavior on everyday life.
Her background includes work in both outpatient and inpatient settings. She has experience with a wide range of concerns including trauma, mood disorders, substance use, ADHD, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. This helps when someone brings complicated or overlapping difficulties to a session.
Outside work she spends time with her teenage child, enjoys outdoor activities, and volunteers at a local animal shelter. She also mentions a personal interest in supporting LGBT+ people and encourages authenticity in the therapy relationship.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client so they can clarify goals and priorities. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation and impulsivity are concerns. DBT provides step-by-step skills for tolerating distress, managing strong emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are chosen to match the problem at hand and make a plan that fits daily life. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Patricia will work collaboratively to decide which tools to try first based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation helps set realistic, practical steps rather than promising a single quick solution.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk about what rhythm of appointments and what session length fits your routine when you schedule the first visit.
