About Patty
Patty Seahlaigh is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 26 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems. She works with adults and lists young adult issues among her focus areas, so she often helps people facing the pressures of early adulthood. Patty also addresses parenting concerns, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem, and career challenges.
She uses straightforward conversation to untangle what is causing distress. Patty listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then suggests small, practical steps to test and shift those patterns. Sessions often look like problem-focused talk, skill practice, and checking what worked between meetings.
Her approach pulls from several methods that guide how she works rather than promising a single fixed technique. Patty draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take actions that matter. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current connections.
Patty aims to help people build useful coping habits for everyday life. That can mean learning ways to calm anxiety, handling triggers linked to past trauma, improving communication, or navigating big life changes like job transitions or moving out on one’s own. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort focused on practical change.

How her approaches translate to online work
Patty commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and encouraging actions that align with those values, which can help with feeling stuck or uncertain about life direction. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patty collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed together.
