Pamela Phipps, LPC

Pamela Phipps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with five years of clinical experience. She has worked with adults who face a range of issues including addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and problems related to family and parenting. Pamela’s background includes supporting people in crisis and those with serious mental health needs, including work with veterans and people experiencing homelessness.

Her approach centers on collaboration. Pamela describes therapy as a joint process where the client sets goals and she helps build a practical plan to reach them. She draws on several methods rather than relying on one single model, and she adjusts her work to fit each person’s situation.

In sessions she often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to examine thinking and behavior patterns. She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing intense emotions, and client-centered methods to focus on the person’s priorities. Pamela also has experience addressing trauma and can use trauma-informed strategies when they are needed.

Practical concerns Pamela commonly addresses include stress, sleep problems, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, substance use, grief, and coping with life changes. She also lists work with issues such as codependency, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and problems after divorce or separation.

People who reach out should expect straightforward, goal-focused sessions that emphasize building skills and problem-solving. Pamela encourages people who are worried about home or family life to take the next step and arrange an initial session.
