About Patty
Patty Seahlaigh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addictions, relationship issues, and coping with life changes. Patty speaks English and offers practical help for people facing a range of emotional challenges.
Patty uses straightforward methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas also shape how she approaches relationships and values-driven goals.
Sessions center on clear steps and small experiments. Clients can expect to track situations, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then test new coping strategies between meetings. Conversations also look at how past attachment and relationship patterns affect present choices and reactions.
Patty works with people on specific concerns such as grief, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar management, and substance use challenges. She also addresses issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment problems, autism spectrum concerns, codependency, communication struggles, and separation or divorce.
With a background in client-centered and motivational interviewing approaches, Patty helps people clarify goals and maintain motivation for change. Her practice emphasizes practical tools, paced progress, and attention to how real-life demands influence therapy work.
How Patty’s approaches translate to online work
Patty commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map situations, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then try practical experiments to shift responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior changes by breaking problems into concrete parts.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult internal experiences while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and communication in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Patty will discuss what helps most based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life, and then try methods that feel workable. Adjustments are normal as the work progresses and as priorities change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that fit their energy level that day, for example a focused skills practice instead of a longer intake meeting.
