Pamela Phipps

Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi. She brings five years of clinical experience supporting adults who face addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and life transitions.

She has worked with people in high-need settings, including homeless veterans, people coping with substance use, and incarcerated men. That work included crisis counseling, helping with self-injury, and addressing serious mental health concerns like depression and anxiety.

Pamela uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking. She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when those methods fit the goals.

Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. Clients set priorities and she helps create practical steps to reach them. Pamela emphasizes meeting people where they are and tailoring sessions to individual needs.

She also addresses a wide range of related concerns, such as relationship strain, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and coping with change. Pamela aims to make beginning therapy less overwhelming and to support steady progress through straightforward conversations and actionable plans.

How Pamela's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship; online sessions use that same emphasis so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; in an online session the therapist and client can work together on practical exercises, homework, and thought records that fit daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, and online meetings can include skills coaching and practice tailored to current stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Pamela will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means starting with a conversation about what matters most and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can help fit counseling into a busy life by allowing sessions around work, minimizing travel, and enabling shorter check-ins when useful. It can also make it easier to continue care during transitions and to practice skills in everyday settings.
