About
As someone who grew up in the field of mental health, I have come to appreciate the therapeutic value of allowing others to express themselves without reservation as well as affording them the respect and dignity they duly deserve.
My name is Elliott Brown, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over 24 years of experience. I enjoy working with adults and children who have a host of issues to unpack: anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, relationship troubles, work headaches, grieving, and getting older, to name a few. When explaining the process of therapy to clients, I often use the "puzzle analogy": a) you dump the pieces out on the table, b) I help you look for the edges and other patterns, and c) you develop a clearer picture about how the rest of the puzzle needs to be solved.
My approach aims to provide you with a sense of relief in expressing often unpleasant thoughts and feelings, while also helping you recognize the themes embedded within these expressions. In doing so, you may develop a greater awareness of the world around you and, as a consequence, become more resilient in the face of adversity.
Please let me know how I can be of help to you. Life's problems aren't something we have to tackle alone. Therapy doesn't have to look a certain way; sessions can be a time to unwind and talk about whatever you see fit. Above all, I hope that you will leave therapy a more insightful and happier person.

With over 30 years of experience in mental health, I believe healing begins when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward through life’s challenges.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and everyday stress. Many of my clients are seeking clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. I also have experience supporting individuals from underserved communities and those navigating difficult life circumstances. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and client-centered. I integrate evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create realistic goals. Clients can expect a supportive space focused on growth, resilience, and meaningful change.
Reaching out for support can be one of the most important steps toward change. You do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.

Being a person that has experienced personal struggles, I understand the ability that we have as individuals to learn the right tools to overcome any circumstance, therefore giving way to the ability to lead effective, fulfilling lives.
I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.
In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.
I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Biloxi, MS can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Biloxi therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
A lot of times we equate anxiousness to everyday worries and apprehensions. But dealing with an anxiety disorder doesn’t mean you just feel worried from time to time. It can mean that your worries have control and supersede everything else. Living with this disorder can feel like sitting in the passenger seat while your anxiety is firmly in the driver’s seat.
Thankfully, support is available for people living with anxiety disorders. With the help of a licensed mental health professional, like a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist, you can learn how to manage your anxiety disorder and reduce its impact on your life. Call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling in Biloxi, MS or use our online scheduling tool to set up your first appointment.
There are many types of anxiety disorders that can present themselves differently in different people. Some common anxiety symptoms you may experience include:
Sometimes, the coping mechanisms that can help alleviate stress like exercise and a balanced diet can also help reduce anxiety, particularly if you’re dealing with a more mild form of anxiety. However, you may find that these mechanisms aren’t always effective and that your symptoms persist no matter what you do. Thankfully, working with a mental health professional can help.
Your provider will spend early sessions getting to know you, your symptoms, and your history with anxiety. They’ll likely also ask you questions about your values, beliefs, and personal history. This information, when combined with psychological evaluations, can help your provider make the proper anxiety diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment will be personalized for each specific situation and a client’s individual needs. Two people suffering from generalized anxiety disorder, though experiencing similar symptoms, might process, express, and understand these symptoms in different ways and therefore require different types of treatment. Some people with anxiety might find that their treatment is best assisted with medication, in which case you’ll work with a psychiatrist who can prescribe it and help you manage your usage.
When working with a Thriveworks provider in Biloxi, MS, you’ll receive the compassionate care designed just for you that empowers you to overcome your anxiety.
