About Pamela
Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She has worked with adults facing addiction, homelessness, trauma, serious mental illness, and crisis situations. Pamela commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anger.
Her background includes work with at-risk groups such as homeless veterans and incarcerated men. That experience shaped a straightforward, practical approach to sessions. Pamela focuses on clear goals and helps people build steps they can use between appointments.
Pamela blends methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential therapy, and EMDR. She uses those tools to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, trauma memories, and day-to-day coping skills. Sessions often include talking through immediate problems and practicing simple strategies to reduce reactivity.
She describes therapy as a joint process. The client sets goals and Pamela helps create a plan to reach them. That plan can include skill practice, mood tracking, and work on communication or impulse control.
People who want pragmatic help with anger, substance concerns, sleep problems, or life transitions will find a direct, goal-focused style. Pamela aims to help people make steady changes they can notice in their daily life.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, using listening and reflection to help the client clarify goals and values. It can help when anger or relationship conflict feels confusing and someone needs a steady listener to sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change them. CBT helps with anger, anxiety, depression, and unhelpful day-to-day reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are useful for people who want concrete tools to reduce emotional reactivity and manage impulsive responses.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Pamela will work together with a client to try techniques and see what fits best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps the person meet their goals and feel more in control of reactions like anger or frustration.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and allow practicing skills from the places where problems actually happen. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talking, skill coaching, and homework exercises over video or phone depending on agreed logistics.
