Her background and varied approaches let her tailor work to each person’s immediate needs and longer-term goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes that lead to different results. CBT is helpful for anxiety, mood issues, sleep and eating challenges, and coping with life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to provide a supportive space where people can talk through their concerns and feel heard. That approach is useful for building trust, processing grief, and exploring identity or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor methods based on a person’s goals, comfort level, and the problems they bring. This collaboration helps choose which skills or therapy ideas to prioritize in sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for role-plays and emotion work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick questions, tracking progress, or supplementing longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practicing between meetings.
