About Pamela
Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family strains, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Pamela also lists codependency among her focus areas and has experience supporting people affected by substance misuse and antisocial behaviors.
She has worked with at-risk groups, including homeless veterans, people struggling with addiction, and incarcerated men. That experience includes crisis counseling, serious mental illness, self-injury, and homelessness. Pamela has also supported adults who have experienced significant trauma.
Pamela uses a collaborative counseling style. Sessions start with the client’s goals, and she helps shape a practical plan to reach them. She draws on several approaches rather than one single model to meet each person’s needs.
The approaches Pamela uses include client-centered methods that emphasize the person’s own resources, cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation. She also borrows from solution-focused and motivational techniques when helpful.
Her work is straightforward and goal oriented. Pamela aims to help people build skills for managing emotions, setting boundaries, and reducing harmful patterns. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Pamela blends approaches for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own resources and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping the client identify personal strengths and goals. This approach works well for people who want a supportive place to sort out what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhealthy patterns like people-pleasing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful when strong emotions or conflict get in the way of daily life.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone calls can work when video is not practical, and video sessions let a therapist and client use visual cues during skills practice. Ask about the current session formats to find what fits into everyday life.
