Patricia Hall, LPC

Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for daily life. Her work welcomes LGBTQ people and others seeking a place to discuss identity and stress without judgment.

Patricia draws on trauma-focused work alongside client-centered listening. She uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings, clearer thinking about patterns, and ways to manage strong emotions.

She has five years of listed professional experience as an LPC and has worked across outpatient and inpatient settings earlier in her career. That background informs how she balances safety, structure, and real-world strategies in sessions. Patricia also spent time supporting children, teens, and adults in clinical roles prior to private practice.

When people come for help with addiction or mood issues, Patricia starts by listening and mapping what matters most to the client. From there she and the client develop goals and small steps to practice. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Outside of practice she spends time with her teenage child and volunteers at an animal shelter. She enjoys being outdoors and shares her home with several dogs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in ways that fit online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely and following the client’s priorities, which can help build trust in remote sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic memories and reactions at a pace the client can handle, with attention to grounding and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. Together they set goals and test practical steps between sessions so learning carries into day-to-day life.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins between longer sessions, make it simpler to fit appointments around work or family responsibilities, and let people practice skills in the environments where they live and work.
