Dr. Patricia Brawley, LPC

Dr. Patricia Brawley is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life changes. She draws on many years of experience to help people untangle problems that keep them awake at night. Her approach is welcoming and nonjudgmental, and she encourages small steps toward clearer goals.

Her work treats a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues and other life transitions that come with getting older. Patricia listens for the clues that form a person’s story and uses those details to guide the work.

In sessions she blends conversation with creative arts. Clients may write, read poetry, watch short film clips, or use journaling and dream reflection to reach insight. Mindfulness practices and narrative techniques are used to help people notice patterns and make new choices. The goal is practical change rather than labels or jargon.

Over a 35-year career she has kept a broad, person-centered stance. She frames therapy like a collaborative investigation, where therapist and client piece together what makes life feel stuck and what might bring relief. Patricia aims to help people move toward the life they want with tools that fit their daily routines.

If someone wants to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. The first sessions typically focus on understanding immediate concerns and shaping a plan that feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences control behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance keeps someone stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, manage brief check-ins, or use guided mindfulness exercises between meetings. Because this therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what will suit your routine.
