Patricia Hall

Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing anger, anxiety, stress, grief, and mood challenges. She presents a calm, practical approach and aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk about what feels hard right now. Patricia welcomes honesty and supports clients as they work toward clearer thinking and steadier days.

Patricia uses trauma-focused methods alongside client-centered care to meet people where they are. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to teach coping skills and change patterns that cause pain. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps people can use between meetings.

Her background includes five years of professional practice as an LPC in Virginia. Patricia has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and has experience with a wide range of concerns including addictions, ADHD, mood disorders, and parenting stress. She also has a particular interest in supporting LGBT clients and helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.

Patricia values practical skills and clear goals. She encourages clients to try strategies in daily life and then bring back what worked and what did not. Her style is direct but warm, with attention to safety for people affected by trauma.

Outside of work she spends time with her teenaged child, enjoys outdoor activities, and volunteers at an animal shelter. She lives with five dogs and brings that down-to-earth, everyday perspective into her work.

How her approaches translate to online treatment

Patricia often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people name what matters and build on their strengths. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Patricia will work with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and day-to-day life. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists use worksheets, skill practices, and coaching in ways that translate across sessions. Ask about specific session formats when you schedule so you know what will work best for your needs.
