Pamela Byrd, LCPC

Pamela Byrd is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Maryland with 25 years of clinical and teaching experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns. She also addresses career stress, self-esteem, anger, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Pamela uses practical, structured methods that focus on how thoughts and behaviors affect daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a key part of her approach, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions involve noticing unhelpful patterns and trying concrete alternatives in thinking and action.

She trained at Johns Hopkins University, completing a BS, MS, and postgraduate studies there. Over 25 years she has provided counseling, supervised clinicians, led trainings, and given public presentations. That work has included counseling people with gambling and substance dependence and running seminars and workshops for professionals.

Pamela founded PBMJ Consultants and Associates, L.L.C. in Baltimore in 2012 and continues to work with individuals from varied backgrounds. Her practice addresses additional concerns such as blended family issues, multicultural matters, coping with disasters, cancer-related adjustment, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.

In sessions she tends to focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. She looks at what is getting in the way of change, explores practical skills, and supports people in testing different responses to recurring problems.
