About Patricia

Dr. Patricia Brawley offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those struggling with addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career issues, bipolar mood shifts, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She aims to make therapy feel manageable, not overwhelming.

Patricia is a Licensed Professional Counselor, with MS LPC after her name, and brings 35 years of experience to sessions. She treats each concern like a puzzle to be solved, gathering small clues from daily life. Sessions often include creative tools like journaling, movies, poetry, or dream reflection to make work more personal and engaging.

Her approach mixes talk-based exploration with mindfulness and expressive methods. Clients may learn simple meditation, write about difficult moments, or use stories and images to understand patterns. The focus is on finding practical steps that fit each person’s life rather than a single fixed method.

Patricia draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered listening to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. She also integrates existential and Jungian perspectives for those who want to examine life meaning, inner symbols, and personal narrative. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to what feels doable.

Dr. Brawley works in Mississippi and communicates in English. She accepts international clients as well. If a concern is keeping you up at night, she encourages taking the first small step toward change.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters in life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance so the person feels heard and can discover their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together the client and therapist try different methods and choose what fits the person's situation and pace.

Confirm session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can still let you use creative tools like writing prompts, guided mindfulness exercises, and movie or poetry assignments between meetings. It also makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to check in from wherever you are. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so progress can continue even when life is hectic.
