About Patricia

Patricia (Patty) Earl offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Background and approach

With nearly three decades of clinical practice, she combines compassionate listening with practical strategies to help people navigate life transitions, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues related to parenting, eating, and compassion fatigue. Patty practices from a person-centered stance while drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based skills.

Her work is informed by long experience in mental health settings in Louisiana and a focus on trauma-informed care, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and support for those affected by cancer or HIV/AIDS. She aims to help clients build coping skills, clarify values and purpose, and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Clients can expect an attentive, grounded therapist who balances empathy with goal-oriented tools. Patty holds an LPC and has provided clinical services for 29 years, offering flexible formats to meet different needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting atmosphere where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; this approach helps people who need a nonjudgmental space to clarify values, cope with loss, or address relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which is useful for anxiety, mood issues, and many everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve coping.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic path, and Patty approaches this collaboratively by listening to a client's goals and preferences and then shaping sessions around which methods seem most helpful. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves with progress and changing needs.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent care without geographic constraints. These formats allow for flexible scheduling, ongoing skills practice between sessions, and a variety of ways to communicate that can suit different comfort levels and daily routines. Licensed professionals can work with clients remotely to deliver the approaches described while tailoring session structure to each individual's life and goals.
