Patricia Leigh, LPCC

Patricia Leigh is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in Kentucky. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work and a long background in caregiving and early childhood education. That mix shapes a practical, down-to-earth approach to stress and anxiety. She speaks English and works with each person at their own pace.

Patricia draws on a range of therapy styles to address symptoms and life challenges. She uses Client-Centered methods to make sessions collaborative and focused on the client's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness tools are added when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Her prior roles in preschool teaching and as a certified nursing assistant inform how she relates to people of different ages and life stages. That history also contributes to patience and a practical sense of what everyday supports might help. She emphasizes clear, respectful conversation and concrete steps in session.

Patricia has experience with trauma, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, mood concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and many other stress-related areas. She is especially attentive to attachment, abandonment, and blended family concerns when these come up. Her work reflects a desire to help people find manageable ways to cope and move forward.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Patricia often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase stress or anxiety and practice alternative responses. CBT focuses on clear exercises and skills that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and collaboration. That approach helps clients set their own goals and guides the session pace based on what they need. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies are helpful, offering step-by-step tools for intense moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia works with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts techniques as the work unfolds so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available online options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins around a work break, and reduce the need to travel to sessions. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily life is part of the initial planning conversation.
