About Patricia
Patricia Leigh is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 12 years of clinical experience. She brings a long history working with people across many settings and focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for common and complex problems. Parents reading on a phone will find her tone compassionate and direct.
Patricia draws on her background in child development and years in caregiving roles to notice details others might miss.
Background and approach
She sees people as individuals rather than fitting them into a single category. That perspective shapes how she talks with clients about worries, behavior, and daily struggles. In sessions she uses approaches that emphasize present concerns and real-life skills.
Patricia often uses client-centered methods to listen and build trust. She also works with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or compulsions. Patricia helps people address a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, phobias, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, and relationship concerns.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. Her style is patient and supportive while remaining practical. She aims to set goals, teach coping skills, and help clients try new ways of responding to stress and impulses.
For parents she brings understanding about child development when concerns involve children or parenting dynamics. Patricia offers sessions in English and sees clients in Kentucky. Her approach is collaborative: she works with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building trust. It involves listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions, which is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions teach practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like panic, phobias, or compulsions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions and impulsive behavior. It can help when stress, anger, or self-destructive urges interfere with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a client's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps pick techniques that feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video sessions let people read facial expressions and body language. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coping reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping a focus on learning skills and tracking progress.
