About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with 35 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and bipolar disorder. English is the language used for sessions and international clients are accepted.
Her style is practical and investigative. She treats the issues that interrupt daily life and sleep. She looks for patterns and small clues that connect to a larger picture of what’s happening. Sessions can include talking, writing, and creative exercises to clarify problems and next steps.
Patricia uses several therapy approaches to support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in tense moments.
She also brings creative methods into the process. Clients may use journaling, poetry, movie clips, dream work, or expressive writing to name emotions and try new perspectives. These tools are meant to make therapy more concrete and engaging, not abstract.
Her practice treats each issue with attention to everyday life. The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online therapy options button.
Therapeutic Approaches and How They Fit Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choosing actions that reflect what matters to you. It can help with anger that shows up as automatic reactions, worry about relationships, or avoidance of difficult situations.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s pace so practical problems and emotions can be named and worked on. This approach is useful when someone wants a steady, person-driven process rather than a prescriptive plan.
Mindfulness techniques train attention and reduce reactivity. Short practices and awareness exercises are used to interrupt tense moments and create space for different choices. These methods pair well with ACT and client-centered work for anger and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. Talk and creative exercises translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss how to adapt practices like journaling or mindfulness for an online setting.
