About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and mood challenges like bipolar disorder.
Her work is practical and straightforward. She aims to help people find clearer footing when life feels chaotic. She brings 35 years of clinical experience as an MS LPC to her sessions.
Background and approach
She treats each person as an individual and looks for clues that explain what keeps a problem going. Sessions often mix talk with creative ways of working - writing, movies, poetry, and journaling - to make progress feel concrete and personal. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness practice, existential reflection, and Jungian ideas about symbols and dreams.
In practice that means noticing what values matter, learning simple mindfulness skills, and using stories or images to make sense of feelings. She uses techniques people can try between sessions so change carries into daily life. She works with people on practical steps such as managing stress, improving sleep, reducing problematic behaviors, coping after losses, and rebuilding self-worth.
The pace and focus are set together, with the client's goals guiding each step. Dr. Brawley accepts international clients and offers sessions from Mississippi.
Her online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. If someone wants to begin, they can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what really matters and take small actions that match those values, even when strong emotions are present. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and improve sleep and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance so people feel heard and can explore options at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness practices one week, and using expressive writing or movie-based reflection the next, then checking what helps most.
Online sessions make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and shared exercises. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in on progress. These formats support continuity of care, fit different schedules, and give multiple ways to practice techniques between meetings.
