About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and life changes. She works with people facing addiction, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career questions.
She also supports those dealing with eating and sleeping issues, bipolar disorder, and questions around sexual orientation and identity. Her practice is based in Mississippi and she offers online work for people farther away.
Background and approach
Her style is practical and conversational. She treats therapy like a careful investigation, looking for clues that fit together to explain what is happening. Sessions often include talk therapy alongside creative methods like journaling, poetry, and film to make the work feel personal and relevant.
Dr. Brawley draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice their values and take small steps toward them. Client-centered and existential ideas guide how she listens and helps people find meaning in difficult experiences.
She also uses Jungian concepts and dream work when those tools seem helpful. In sessions she may suggest exercises between meetings, such as writing prompts, brief mindfulness practices, or watching and discussing a film clip. These activities are designed to deepen insight and make progress outside the therapy hour.
She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals and next steps can be discussed.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions because it focuses on practical steps rather than perfect thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so people can find their own solutions; it suits those who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with stress, sleep issues, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and situation. That may mean trying a few ideas early on and adjusting over time so the plan feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection, phone sessions can be quieter and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or short reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep momentum when life is hectic and to access consistent support from Mississippi or other locations.
