Pamela Phipps , LPC

Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She has spent her career working with at-risk populations, including homeless veterans, people struggling with addiction, and incarcerated males, and has developed substantial experience supporting adults facing a wide array of mental health challenges.

Her background includes crisis counseling and work with serious mental illness, self-injury, addiction, antisocial personality disorder, depression and anxiety, family relationship issues, and homelessness. Pamela has also supported many individuals who have experienced significant trauma, drawing on that experience to inform practical and compassionate care.

Pamela’s counseling style is founded on trust and a genuine concern for each person she sees. She frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client’s goals guide treatment and a plan is created together to reach those goals. Her approach is eclectic, borrowing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused techniques, motivational strategies, and person-centered methods to tailor care to the individual.

She believes every person and situation is unique, and she aims to meet clients where they are. Facing hard problems can feel overwhelming, and Pamela offers support and guidance to people taking that first step toward change.

Pamela draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own values and goals guide the work. This approach helps people who want a supportive environment to explore identity, relationships, and personal meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other concerns; it offers practical tools for symptom management and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pamela collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time to fit what works for the individual. This collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow therapists and clients to work together from different locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while accommodating busy lives and varied needs. Licensed professionals, including Pamela, can use these tools to provide consistent support and practical strategies between sessions.
