She earned a master of science in professional counseling from Liberty University and holds a bachelor of arts from Ferrum College.

Patricia has worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings and has experience supporting children, teens, and adults through life transitions and mental health challenges.

Patricia’s areas of interest include working with the LGBT+ community and helping people find and express their authentic selves. Her practice addresses issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Trauma-Informed and Client-Centered Approaches for Online Care

Patricia Hall uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help individuals explore values, strengths, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and recover from traumatic experiences by addressing trauma responses and building coping strategies tailored to each person’s history and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts techniques as progress is made so that therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel, which can be especially helpful for clients managing busy lives or geographical constraints.
