Dr. Patricia Brawley

Dr. Patricia Brawley helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and life changes. She supports people coping with trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and mood disorders. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at finding usable ways forward rather than waiting for perfect solutions.

She brings 35 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor. That background shows up in simple, hands-on work. Sessions can include talk therapy, journaling, mindfulness exercises, and creative methods like writing, poetry, movies, or dream reflection. She describes the process as a kind of investigation where small clues build a clearer picture of what is going on.

Dr. Brawley often uses mindful awareness and acceptance to help people tolerate difficult feelings while making values-based choices. Client-centered conversation is at the heart of her work, so clients set the pace and focus. She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas to explore meaning, life purpose, and patterns that repeat across relationships and experience.

Her approach is flexible and nonjudgmental. Practical exercises and expressive activities are blended with reflective conversation. People leave with concrete tools for coping, clearer priorities, and new ways to handle triggers like anger or shame.

Located in Mississippi, she works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. If someone wants steady support through a hard season or help planning a new direction, she encourages taking the next step toward therapy.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and making life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so people feel heard and understood during hard conversations. Existential Therapy encourages looking at meaning, choices, and life direction when someone feels stuck or facing big transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their situation, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist will adjust the plan together with the client.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help people keep continuity when travel or relocation happens, and allow creative exercises such as journaling or dream work to be reviewed together. The exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions let them follow up more consistently and use brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder to arrange.
