Patricia Leigh, LPCC

Patricia Leigh is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 12 years of clinical experience. She has a long history working around people of different ages and brings a steady, patient presence to sessions. Patricia approaches therapy with direct, practical methods and a focus on helping clients make real changes in day-to-day life.

Patricia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques. She favors clear goals and strategies that people can try between sessions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when clients need skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

In sessions she keeps language simple and concrete. Parents and individuals who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship struggles will find a straightforward, compassionate clinician who listens and offers doable tools. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, mood concerns, attention differences, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Patricia blends practical skill building with a warm, accepting stance. She helps clients practice new ways of coping, test unhelpful thoughts, and set small steps toward bigger goals. Sessions move at a comfortable pace and focus on what the client needs in the moment.

Her background in caregiving and work with children informs how she explains things simply and stays patient during slow progress. Patricia frames therapy as a partnership and works with each person to tailor approaches to their life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions to problems.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when needed, teaching practical techniques for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and handling crisis moments without harmful reactions. These skills are taught in short, repeatable steps so clients can practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. She encourages feedback so the work stays focused on what matters most to the client.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy work and skill coaching, phone can be easier with limited bandwidth, and text options allow quick check-ins or support between sessions. This mix helps people fit therapy into busy lives and keeps momentum when schedules are tight.
