About Patricia
Patricia Leigh is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 12 years of clinical experience. She began her career in caregiving and early childhood education, which shaped how she understands development and behavior. She brings patience and a steady presence to sessions and treats therapy as a calling rather than just a job.
Patricia draws on several practical approaches to help clients tackle concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, grief, and stress. She pays attention to how childhood experiences and attachment patterns influence current struggles. She also works with issues like addiction, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, anger, and challenges around intimacy.
Sessions tend to be grounded and collaborative. Patricia uses client-centered listening to understand each person's priorities. She combines straightforward behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to build coping skills and reduce distress.
Her background in preschool teaching and long experience as a caregiver inform how she talks about development and family-related topics. That perspective can be helpful for parents, those dealing with adoption or foster care issues, and people managing caregiver stress.
Patricia supports people who want practical strategies for sleep and rest alongside broader mental health goals. She helps clients set small, achievable steps and tracks progress together. To begin working with her, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect clients with the next available appointment.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals that matter to the individual; this helps people feel heard and respected while deciding what to work on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that support sleep, mood, and daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It emphasizes learning concrete strategies for stress, impulsivity, and relational tension.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. If something does not feel right, the plan can be adjusted together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice sleep routines or mindfulness exercises in the settings where they live and rest, with guidance from a licensed professional.
