About Pam

Pam Biggs-Reed is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience in Indiana and Florida. She works with adults facing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and life transitions. Pam also supports people dealing with ADHD, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and the stresses that caregiving or blended family life can create.

Her style centers on building a dependable counseling relationship and working together on practical goals. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and to try different coping strategies.

Pam often combines solution-focused tools with trauma-informed practices when a history of abuse or loss is part of the picture. That means short-term steps and longer-term strategies are used side by side. Sessions typically include setting concrete goals and planning action steps to move forward.

Over two decades she has worked with people affected by substance use and with those who care for someone with an addiction. She also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, family of origin issues, and aging or caregiver stress.

Working in Florida, Pam offers counseling in English and does not accept clients outside the United States. Prospective clients are asked to follow the practice's process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Pam uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people clarify values and decide next steps when life feels uncertain.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviors together. CBT offers clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, anger and some stress-related patterns through exercises and behavioral experiments done between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Pam collaborates with clients to decide whether to emphasize listening, CB T techniques, solution-focused steps, or trauma-focused practices depending on needs and goals. She checks in and adapts plans as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Talk with the practice about how sessions will be scheduled and what will work best for your daily routine.
