Dr. Patricia Brawley, LPC

Dr. Patricia Brawley, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), brings 35 years of experience helping people move past feeling overwhelmed and stuck. She approaches each situation like a careful investigation, gathering clues from life history, current struggles, and creative expression to assemble a clearer picture of what is getting in the way and what can shift. Her work blends traditional talk therapy with creative arts - including journaling, movies, poetry and dream analysis - so each therapeutic relationship becomes personal and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

She offers a holistic, nonjudgmental style that supports clients through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, mood disorders, and many other challenges. Her practice also addresses focused issues such as abandonment, family of origin dynamics, veteran and first responder concerns, and process addictions. Dr. Brawley helps clients learn practical coping skills, explore life purpose, and develop healthier patterns through techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices.

Whether a problem wakes someone at night or feels small but persistent, Dr. Brawley believes meaningful change is possible. She invites people seeking extra support or a new direction to engage in collaborative, creative therapy aimed at achievable goals. As noted by those who work with her, clients find "and they all lived happily after" when they embrace this holistic, compassionate approach.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Patricia Brawley integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles into her online work to help clients clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and build a life that aligns with what matters most. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking committed action toward chosen goals - it can help with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and major life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and content of change. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, relationships, and coping skills. Dr. Brawley also draws on Jungian-informed techniques such as dream reflection and creative expression when appropriate to explore deeper meaning and personal narratives.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Brawley and the client work together to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy schedules and geographic distances, allowing clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from where they are most comfortable.
