About Patricia
Patricia Leigh is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a long history working with children and older adults in care settings. Patricia speaks English and centers her work on helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns.
She draws on practical approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking and build emotion regulation skills. Sessions are straightforward and focused on small, useful steps rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Parents who worry about behavior or sleep often come for concise tools they can use right away. Patricia values a warm, patient stance in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work to their needs.
That means blending talk, coping skills, and attention to life stage when appropriate. Her background includes preschool teaching and long experience as a caregiver, which informs how she talks about development and daily routines. That background can be useful when exploring parenting questions or childhood trauma memories.
In therapy she may introduce cognitive behavioral techniques to shift patterns of worry, dialectical behavior strategies to manage intense emotions, and client-centered listening to clarify goals. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better sleep, healthier relationships, and less overwhelm. People who prefer practical, empathetic care with clear steps tend to fit well with her style.
Patricia supports work on grief, addiction, ADHD, mood concerns, and life transitions alongside anxiety and stress.
Approach and online options for anxiety and stress
Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that reduce worry and improve sleep and daily routines.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or impulsivity is a problem.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia talks with each person about their goals and tries a few methods to see what fits best. Together they adapt techniques so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video helps preserve face-to-face connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
