Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions are focused and down-to-earth. Expect short, doable strategies you can practice between meetings and time to talk through what feels hard right now.

Phyllis has about 10 years of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker, and she brings that background to help people manage stress, improve focus, and handle family conflict.

How CBT and Online Therapy Work Together

Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what helps mood and relationships. It is often useful for depression, low self-esteem, impulsivity, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals and preferences. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust them based on what feels useful in daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is a fuller face-to-face option, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These formats let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school and make it easier to keep up with regular practice and homework between meetings.
