About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley is an MS LPC - a licensed professional counselor practicing in Mississippi with 35 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating issues, career pressures, and mood disorders. Sessions are practical and focused on solving problems that keep showing up in day-to-day life.
Her style is down-to-earth and investigative. She treats difficulties like a mystery to be solved, looking for clues in habits, memories, and relationships. She often brings creative materials into sessions - writing, movies, poetry, or dream work - to make conversations more concrete and engaging. Mindfulness exercises and journaling are also common tools in her work.
Dr. Brawley describes some of her clinical influences as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, existential thinking, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness therapy. That mix lets her address both practical change and deeper meaning questions. She invites clients to notice patterns, try small shifts, and reflect on results.
People who come for help with anger often focus on why it shows up and what keeps it running. In sessions she helps clients name triggers, practice alternative responses, and explore values that matter most. She also works with process addictions, PTSD, veteran issues, and aging-related themes when they relate to the presenting problem.
Dr. Brawley accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Dr. Brawley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small consistent steps toward what matters. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflection, and helping clients find their own solutions rather than telling them what to do.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help lower reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness can be useful for anger, anxiety, and sleep problems because it trains attention and response choice rather than automatic reaction.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels most useful. Expect some practical experiments between sessions such as brief mindfulness exercises, journaling prompts, or short behavior changes to see what helps.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. That flexibility often helps people maintain consistency while they try new ways of responding to anger and stress.
