About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley is an MS LPC - a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and life purpose concerns. She also works with mood disorders, bipolar issues, and a range of eating, sleeping, and self-esteem problems.
Her style is straightforward and investigative. She likens finding solutions to solving a mystery, looking for clues that build a clearer picture of daily life. Sessions can include talking, writing, and creative materials such as movies or poetry to help people say what matters to them.
Dr. Brawley mixes a variety of approaches rather than following a single method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to focus on values and present experience. Mindfulness practices appear alongside Jungian ideas and existential questions when useful.
Practical tools are common in her work. People may be invited to journal, try guided meditation, analyze dreams, or use short written exercises between sessions. Creative tasks are used to surface thoughts that can be hard to name in conversation.
She frames the work as collaborative and concrete. Meetings are used to sort through current problems, test possible solutions, and adjust steps as needed. Her experience includes supporting those affected by first responder and veteran issues, post-traumatic stress, process addictions, codependency, and aging related concerns.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what you value and on small, workable steps toward those values. It helps with persistent anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching ways to act despite difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in the room and on listening without judging; it supports people who need space to make sense of emotions and to find their own direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Brawley treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit best for your goals and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps you make progress.
The biography doesn’t list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether you need shorter check-ins around a workday, prefer not to commute, or want to use written exercises between meetings. Therapists can guide mindfulness practices, journaling prompts, and creative tasks that work well in remote sessions, helping therapy connect to everyday routines without promising a particular format.
