About Pamela
Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who centers her work on building trust and clear goals with each client. She uses straightforward, practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship problems. Pamela draws on five years of clinical experience with adults facing complex life circumstances.
She has worked with people affected by homelessness, substance use, and involvement with the criminal justice system.
Background and approach
That work included crisis counseling, support for serious mental illness, self-injury, and trauma recovery. Pamela also has experience supporting people through family conflict, parenting strain, and major life changes. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Pamela listens first, then helps clients set clear, attainable goals. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings to notice change and build new skills. Pamela blends approaches rather than relying on a single method.
She uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thought patterns, and dialectical skills for emotional regulation. She can also incorporate EMDR techniques when trauma processing is a focus. People who choose Pamela can expect a flexible plan tailored to their situation.
She helps people break large problems into manageable tasks and practices that feel doable. Pamela aims to make therapy a steady, useful part of getting through difficult times.
Blending approaches for online healing
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps identify goals and next steps; this approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to sort feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into specific skills and exercises that can reduce anxiety, depressive patterns, and coping difficulties between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication that can be applied daily.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to share preferences so the process stays collaborative and focused on what actually helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these methods. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and EMDR-informed processing. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, practice of skills, and ongoing coaching between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
