Patty Seahlaigh, LPC

Patty Seahlaigh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles. Patty focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier so clients can feel steadier and more in control.

She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through painful events and confusing feelings. Patty listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to try different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize real-world skills and clearer communication rather than long theories.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns. That includes trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with big life changes. She also notes additional focus areas such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, and difficulties related to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Patty draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the person in front of her. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These tools are adapted to each person's needs and pace.

Clients can expect collaborative sessions that balance support with practical tools. Patty emphasizes building resilience, improving communication, and making choices that fit a person's values and life demands. Those concerned about jealousy or relationship tension can bring those issues into work together.

Approaches that guide online work

Patty uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck from unhelpful thoughts.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people learn concrete skills to manage worry, mood shifts, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patty will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That way they decide collaboratively which methods to try and when to adapt them.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is meeting with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow a quick check-in during a break, or let someone choose a session that does not require video. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help maintain consistency of care while focusing on coping skills, communication, and managing relationship concerns such as jealousy.
