About Patty

Patty Seahlaigh is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of clinical experience in Missouri. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, or big life changes. Patty aims to create a calm space where clients can feel heard and begin to make small, steady shifts in daily life.

She uses an attachment-based perspective to understand how early relationships shape present reactions and connections.

Background and approach

That lens pairs with cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and with client-centered care that keeps each session grounded in the person’s priorities. Patty also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify values and build motivation for change. In sessions she helps people manage difficult feelings, improve communication, and cope after trauma or loss.

She works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stresses, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, and mood disorders such as bipolar and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. She also addresses adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, and challenges related to autism and dissociation. Her style is practical and respectful.

Patty guides clients through manageable steps like emotion regulation tools, clearer boundary-setting, and behavioral experiments to test new ways of relating. Over time the goal is more stable mood, better choices, and stronger connections. Patty provides services through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging in English.

She practices in Missouri as an LPC and brings a trauma-aware, individualized approach to each person’s needs.

Online support

How online approaches and attachment work together

Patty often combines Attachment-Based Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people understand relationship patterns and live in line with their values. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current emotions and reactions, useful for people who struggle with trust, closeness, or abandonment fears. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and commit to actions that reflect what matters most.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and priorities. That approach means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what the client says, and helps the client steer the work. Patty treats deciding which methods to use as a team effort and adjusts methods based on the client’s needs and goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy schedule and to continue momentum between in-person options.
