About Patricia
Patricia (Patty) Earl is a licensed professional counselor with 29 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, parenting struggles, and related challenges. She works with people who are navigating life changes, coping with mood disorders, managing ADHD, or dealing with intimacy and self-esteem concerns.
Her style is calm and grounded and she listens closely before offering practical steps. Patty blends talk-based care with mindfulness and movement ideas to help clients notice how emotions show up in the body.
Background and approach
She uses Client-Centered techniques to follow each person's pace and Cognitive Behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when people need help managing strong emotions and improving relationships. In sessions she prefers straightforward conversation and gentle experiential exercises.
Parents often come for help with stress, parenting strain, or to work through emotional patterns that affect family life. She also has experience supporting people with eating concerns, addiction, grief after loss, and serious illness related challenges. Patty’s approach emphasizes small, practical changes that can be used between sessions.
She encourages learning skills for emotion regulation, mindful awareness, and clearer communication. Progress is treated as a step-by-step process rather than a quick fix. Based in Louisiana, Patty brings decades of clinical work to each meeting.
She speaks English and accepts international clients for online formats. People can expect a listening presence, direct feedback, and tools they can try at home between sessions.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work
Patty commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validating, and following the client's pace so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patty will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter, on-the-go ways to stay connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and changing routines.
