About Pamela

Pamela Phipps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who blends practical techniques with a collaborative, client-focused stance.

Background and approach

Over five years she has worked primarily with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and family challenges, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes crisis counseling and experience with at-risk groups such as homeless veterans and individuals with significant trauma or substance use challenges. Her style emphasizes building trust and meeting clients where they are, treating therapy as a cooperative process in which goals are identified and a tailored plan is developed.

Pamela draws from multiple evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered approaches, existential ideas, and EMDR to address symptoms and enhance day-to-day functioning. She works with additional presentations such as codependency, communication and control issues, blended family concerns, grief and forgiveness, and life purpose questions.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental clinician who combines structured strategies and empathy to help navigate change and manage difficult emotions.

Practical Therapies for Online Support

Pamela commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it often uses homework and skill practice to build coping strategies. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to assess presenting concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest an approach or combination of approaches that fits each person’s needs. Clients and the therapist experiment and adjust strategies together over time to maximize usefulness.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods, access support from home, and practice skills between sessions while keeping the therapeutic focus on real-world functioning.
