About Pamela
Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with five years of experience. She works with adults who face problems like addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. Pamela has worked in crisis settings and with people who have experienced homelessness or involvement with the criminal justice system.
Her background includes time supporting homeless veterans, people struggling with substance use, and incarcerated males. That experience shaped a practical approach to common issues such as self-injury, serious mental illness, family problems, and the effects of trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on immediate concerns as well as longer-term coping skills.
Pamela’s counseling style emphasizes collaboration. Clients set goals and she helps create a plan to reach them. She draws on several methods rather than relying on a single model, and she adjusts techniques to fit where a person is in their life.
Two of the approaches she often uses are cognitive behavioral methods to spot and change unhelpful patterns, and dialectical behavior strategies to manage intense emotions. She also incorporates person-centered ideas that keep the client’s perspective central to sessions. This mix is applied to problems like anger, relationship strain, sleep struggles, parenting stress, and control or impulsivity issues.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and behavior-focused. Pamela aims to help people break down problems into workable steps and practice new responses. She encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change.
How her approaches guide online work
Pamela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, and then practice different responses. This approach is useful for anger that shows up at work or home and for anxiety and depression. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high. That can help with impulsivity, resentment, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision. She will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan when something is not helping. That way clients learn what works for them rather than following a fixed program.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. It can also let someone focus on skills practice between sessions. Pamela’s mix of CBT and DBT techniques adapts well to remote sessions, with practical exercises and skill rehearsals that you can apply right away.
