About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life changes. She works with issues around addiction, intimacy, relationships, body image, and mood disorders like bipolar and seasonal affective disorder.
People who struggle with eating, sleeping, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, or feelings of abandonment can expect practical support and steady guidance. Dr. Brawley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience.
She listens first and then helps uncover patterns that keep problems going.
How Patricia works
Sessions often look like a guided conversation where real-life clues and choices are examined together. She blends talking with creative activities such as journaling, poetry, and film to make the work feel personal and relevant. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Mindfulness practices and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills are used to build tolerance for hard feelings and to focus on meaningful action. Client-centered and existential ideas help people find their own direction rather than follow a script. Therapy can involve traditional talk, written exercises, dream reflection, and other creative arts.
These methods aim to open new ways of seeing recurring patterns and to practice different responses outside the session. The goal is steady, practical change that fits the client’s life. Dr.
Brawley sees clients from Mississippi and also works with international clients by online formats. She invites people to begin even if the problem feels small - if it bothers you, that is enough reason to get support.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a trusting, supportive relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what the client brings; it helps people feel heard and understood when sorting out personal goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, focus, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and practical needs, and together they will choose methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try a technique, assess how it helped, and adjust as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility in how people connect. Video works well for in-depth conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need support between sessions. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and fit therapy into busy schedules.
