Patricia (Patty) Earl

Patricia (Patty) Earl is an LPC with nearly three decades of clinical work. She helps people who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship problems, and addiction. Patty listens closely and responds in a calm, grounded way so clients feel heard and steady during hard conversations.

She blends talk-based methods with movement and mindfulness to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. Sessions often include gentle exercises that teach skills for managing strong emotions and for becoming more aware of triggers. Patty also uses Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior ideas to teach practical coping tools.

Her background includes work with people facing eating concerns, addiction, and serious loss. She has long experience helping people cope with life changes, chronic medical challenges, and mood disorders. That range informs a flexible, person-focused style rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions she aims to build skills for managing anger and improving relationships. She encourages small, practical changes clients can practice between meetings. Patty helps people set clear goals and tracks progress so work in therapy feels useful and manageable.

Clients can expect a steady presence and a mix of listening, skill practice, and mindful awareness. Patty’s approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel more in control of their reactions and better able to handle everyday stressors.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at the client's pace. It focuses on building trust and reflecting what the person says so they feel understood, which helps with anger, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps people learn new ways to respond to triggers, manage anxiety, and reduce anger through step-by-step exercises.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be useful for handling intense feelings and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining mindfulness, movement-based awareness, and skill practice in different proportions.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. Therapists can use mindful exercises and CBT worksheets in virtual sessions, and movement awareness can be adapted for the space a person has available.
