About Patricia

Patricia Leigh is an LPCC practicing in Kentucky with twelve years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history of working with people across different life stages, combining her counseling background with deep experience in early childhood education and long-term care settings.

Background and approach

Her training in trauma-focused and evidence-based approaches informs a practical, grounded style that aims to help clients navigate overwhelming experiences and persistent patterns. Patricia approaches therapy with compassion, patience, and a sense of purpose.

She values clients' individual stories and treats each person as distinct rather than fitting them into one mold. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including ADHD, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, and life transitions, along with related areas such as attachment, caregiver stress, and obsessions or compulsions.

Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and applying concrete strategies where helpful. Patricia supports clients through difficult changes and helps them clarify personal goals, offering a collaborative environment for exploration and growth.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Therapy

Patricia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for mood, anxiety, and behavioral concerns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when clients need tools for managing intense feelings and relationship stress. Both approaches translate well to online formats and are useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, impulsivity, and difficulties with attention.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Patricia works with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, adjusting techniques over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it simpler to access therapy from home or other settings, support ongoing skill practice between sessions, and allow clients to choose the communication style that best fits their life while working with a licensed professional.
