About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley is an MS LPC - a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 35 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and family of origin issues among other concerns. She also helps people dealing with sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, and mood-related issues such as bipolar disorder.
Her style is practical and investigative. She treats problems like puzzles with clues to be gathered and fitted together. Sessions can include talking, writing, watching film clips, reading or composing poetry, and other creative activities to make the work concrete and personal.
Dr. Brawley draws from several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions. Client-centered work keeps focus on the person’s experience. Mindfulness practices teach ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports choosing values-based actions despite difficult emotions.
She also uses elements of Jungian and existential thinking when they fit the issue at hand, for example discussing life meaning or symbolic material from dreams and creative work. These methods are woven into practical steps for coping with life changes, grief, and post-traumatic stress.
The first sessions tend to clarify current stressors and short-term goals. From there she and the client decide on techniques to try, such as journaling, guided mindfulness, or narrative work using movies and poems. Sessions are described plainly and in ways that parents, workers, and busy people can use in daily life.
How her therapeutic approaches guide online work
Dr. Brawley uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values even when strong feelings are present. That approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities, which helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps in everyday life.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to build awareness of thought and body sensations. Mindfulness exercises can be short and handy for managing stress, sleep problems, or urges tied to process addictions. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative; she will work with each person to test methods and adjust them based on goals and what fits day-to-day routines.
The therapist’s biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules because they remove commuting time and allow for shorter check-ins on busy days. Other practical benefits include using creative tasks between sessions, keeping a journal or poems for discussion, and practicing brief mindfulness exercises that integrate into normal routines.
