About Phyllis
Phyllis keeps sessions warm and down-to-earth. She listens closely, asks clear questions, and works with each person to set concrete goals. Conversations focus on skills you can use between sessions, like communication tactics, emotion regulation, and changes in daily routine.
Her background includes practice in Wyoming and Connecticut as a licensed professional counselor. That long experience informs a flexible style that borrows from several well-known methods. She aims to match tools to a person’s needs rather than using one fixed approach.
In therapy she often addresses family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, and problems that show up as anger, emptiness, or chronic worry. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, workplace strain, or life transitions such as separation or career change.
Phyllis works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and other overlapping challenges. She integrates straightforward skill-building with space to reflect on meaning and values. The goal is clearer choices and more reliable ways to cope day to day.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a calm, accepting space to sort out feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and moods connect and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many daily problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for strong emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine elements of different approaches until a useful fit is found.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family demands, or travel. They also let people check in from a quiet spot, use shorter sessions for focused skill practice, or avoid commuting on busy days. If you prefer a particular way to meet, ask about current options when you arrange your first appointment.
