About Patricia
Patricia Leigh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 12 years of counseling experience. She lists trauma, parenting, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction concerns, and relationship issues among the areas she addresses.
She draws on a background that includes many years working with children and older adults. That history shapes how she notices development, behavior, and family patterns. She treats each person as an individual rather than fitting them into one model.
Patricia uses practical, structured methods in sessions. She emphasizes approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors, and skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Sessions are often straightforward and focused on specific problems and coping steps.
She also uses client-centered techniques to listen and build understanding. Dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness strategies appear when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are priorities. Jungian perspectives may be used when exploring meaning and patterns over time.
Parents and caregivers who are juggling stress, grief, or attachment concerns will find concrete strategies for routines, boundaries, and self-management. For people facing trauma or abuse, sessions aim to reduce symptoms and improve coping through stepwise interventions and skills practice.
Patricia notes that her work is influenced by child development experience and years in geriatric care. That range informs how she explains ideas, sets expectations, and supports practical changes in daily life.
She offers services in English and does not take international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session format options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short exercises and homework. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping the client shape goals at their own pace. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or relationship patterns are the focus; DBT skills training teaches concrete strategies for handling intense feelings and interpersonal stress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Patricia works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She will check in about how methods are working and adjust techniques based on client feedback and progress.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as session delivery options are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during breaks. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler option for brief check-ins, while video sessions are useful when visual cues and interactive skills practice matter. Discuss format preferences when you schedule the first session so practical arrangements match your routine.
