About Patricia
Dr. Patricia Brawley helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and mood disorders. Patricia writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
She has 35 years of experience as an MS LPC - a licensed professional counselor. Her work treats problems as puzzles to be investigated together. Sessions can include talking, journaling, dream reflection, and creative activities such as movies, poetry, and writing to make therapy feel personal and relevant.
Client-Centered Therapy is a core part of her approach, so the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Mindfulness-based techniques to ease worry and tension. These methods are used in straightforward ways rather than clinical jargon.
Patricia describes therapy as a collaborative search for meaning and practical steps. She often uses creative arts to open new perspectives and to make progress feel tangible. Small changes and daily practices are part of most plans.
People who come to her typically want support getting unstuck, making a change, or coping after hard events. If something bothers you, she treats that concern as important and worth addressing together.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own goals and experience, so online work focuses on following what the client brings and responding with empathy. This helps when the main aim is clearer communication and practical problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, asks people to name their values and take small steps toward them. Online sessions can include value-mapping exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework between meetings to build habits that matter. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques translate well to remote sessions and short daily practices that fit into busy routines. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's situation, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a couple of techniques and adjusting what’s used over time. The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to keep appointments without traveling. Online work can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions through emailed exercises, journaling prompts, or short check-ins.
