Pamela Phipps , LPC

Pamela Phipps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with five years of experience supporting adults facing a range of mental health and life challenges. She has worked extensively with at-risk populations, including homeless veterans, people struggling with addiction, and incarcerated males, and brings experience in crisis counseling, serious mental illness, self-injury, antisocial personality disorder, depression, anxiety, family relationship issues, and homelessness. She has also supported individuals who have endured significant trauma and complex life circumstances.

Phipps’s counseling style emphasizes building trust and demonstrating genuine concern for each person she sees. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s goals guide the work and a tailored plan is developed together. Her methods are eclectic, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, motivational strategies, and person-centered practices to meet people where they are and address challenges such as stress, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She welcomes those ready to take a step toward change and offers steady support throughout the process.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning by teaching practical skills to reframe thinking and develop healthier habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to help people manage strong emotions, reduce impulsivity, and improve relationships. It is particularly useful for emotion regulation, coping with self-destructive urges, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting each person where they are. This approach supports self-exploration and empowers clients to set their own goals while the therapist provides a supportive, nonjudgmental presence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Pamela Phipps collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel barriers, and allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from the location that works best for them.
