Patricia (Patty) Earl, LPC

Patricia (Patty) Earl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who combines talk therapy with embodied approaches to support healing and change. She also brings training as a board certified dance movement therapist, which uses guided movement to help people notice and work with emotions that show up in the body. Her background as a registered nurse and as a certified yoga instructor informs a holistic outlook on wellbeing that attends to both physical and emotional experience.

She has provided trauma and grief therapy for children and adults, and currently works with individuals managing eating disorders and addictions. Her movement-based work emphasizes mindful attention to bodily sensations so clients can access feelings that are difficult to name. In clinical formulation she draws on systems family theory alongside Jungian and object relations perspectives to understand patterns in relationships and inner life.

Patricia describes her style as centered and grounded, listening carefully and responding thoughtfully to each person she meets. Her approach aims to create space for recovery, clarity, and practical coping as clients navigate stress, loss, relationship challenges, and other life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Patricia integrates client-centered work and skills-based therapies with mindful movement to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, supports self-exploration, and helps strengthen personal insight and self-direction; this approach is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-harming or impulsive behaviors, which can be useful for addiction, mood instability, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to bodily sensations and thoughts, supporting work with trauma, grief, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will work with each client to identify goals, try strategies that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time so the therapy matches preferences and progress.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional across locations and schedules. These options offer flexibility for busy lives, ongoing communication between sessions, and multiple ways to engage with therapeutic tools and movement-based practices.
