About Phyllis
Phyllis Babrove uses a compassionate, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with ten years of practice experience. Phyllis speaks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
She draws on client-centered methods that put each person’s goals first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals so progress can be noticed quickly. Phyllis has worked in schools, crisis counseling, diversion programs for adolescents, and family services. That background informs how she supports parents, caregivers, and people dealing with substance use or behavior challenges.
She has also co-facilitated parenting groups focused on improving communication with teens. Sessions are straightforward and nonjudgmental. Phyllis aims to help people manage anger, rebuild self-esteem, handle life transitions, and address patterns that stem from family of origin or attachment concerns.
She also works with issues such as codependency, caregiver stress, and eating or substance-related problems. Her style is warm and practical. People who meet with Phyllis can expect collaborative planning, clear steps to try between sessions, and flexible scheduling that includes some evenings and weekends.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people set their own goals; this approach suits those who need an empathic, steady presence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and on what will look different when things improve.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Initial sessions are used to try different techniques and adjust the plan so it feels practical and realistic.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be shorter or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
