Patricia HallLPC

Patricia Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, parenting, mood shifts, or life changes. She offers a calm, listening presence and practical steps to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other concerns related to pregnancy and childbirth. Patricia writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person. With five years listed as an LPC and broader earlier mental health experience, Patricia draws on trauma-focused work and evidence-based methods to support people after birth and through parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship strain, substance issues, mood disorders, ADHD, and identity questions. Her background includes outpatient and inpatient settings, and she has worked with children, teens, and adults. Her approach centers on meeting clients where they are and helping them notice next steps. Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s goals and values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when feelings feel intense. She values the LGBT+ community and aims to create a space where clients can bring their authentic selves. Outside of work she spends time with her teenage child, enjoys outdoor activities, cares for five dogs, and volunteers at a local animal shelter. Patricia is based in Virginia and works in English.

How these approaches shape online care

Patricia uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s goals and values; this approach means she listens first and follows the client’s lead while helping them make sense of their experience. It is helpful for people who want a supportive space to clarify what matters and make decisions about pregnancy, parenting, or life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful thinking patterns that can surface during pregnancy or after childbirth. When emotions run very high, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can be added to teach pacing, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing on safety and trauma processing first, then building coping skills for daily life.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more regular check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively via remote appointments, and Patricia will help shape the plan to fit each person’s routine and responsibilities.
