About Patricia
Patricia (Patty) Earl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 29 years of experience. She works with adults on anger along with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and other mood and adjustment issues. She also supports people facing parenting strain, eating-related concerns, ADHD, and issues linked to life changes.
Patty uses plain, direct conversation and attentive listening to help people name what fuels their anger and frustration. She combines talk-based methods with movement and mindfulness practices to help people notice how feelings live in the body. Sessions aim to build clearer choices around reactions rather than blaming or shame.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, existential thinking, and mindfulness. That blend is used to address trauma, grief, substance issues, and persistent patterns that feed anger. She explains skills and practices in easy terms and checks in about what works for each person.
Her background includes long clinical experience supporting people with eating disorders, addiction, and post-traumatic stress. She also brings workplace and life-change concerns into sessions, including compassion fatigue and issues connected to cancer, HIV/AIDS, and end-of-life matters.
Patty offers practical techniques for managing intense moments, calming the body, and noticing triggers. People who are ready to try both talk and movement-based ways of working often find the combination helpful. To begin, readers are advised to follow the site's process for matching and scheduling a first session.
Approaches used online and how they help
Patty often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping a person develop clearer self-understanding; it can help someone recognize personal values and responses. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage intense emotions.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach concrete strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills can be useful for reducing reactive outbursts, managing strong urges, and practicing calmer responses in heated moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Patty will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then try approaches that fit those needs. She adjusts methods as sessions progress so the work stays practical and focused on day-to-day challenges.
