Dr. Annie Phillips , GA Psychologist PSY003556

Dr. Annie Phillips helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, and life changes. She is a Georgia psychologist with 15 years of experience and a practical, down-to-earth style. Many who seek her help are dealing with low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, or issues around intimacy and addiction. She also supports concerns common to women, such as midlife questions, self-love, and social anxiety.

In sessions she focuses on what the client wants to address right now. She listens closely, offers clear feedback, and matches tools to each person’s needs. Her work is rooted in client-centered care, which means the conversation follows the client rather than forcing a rigid plan.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness and acceptance-based skills are used to reduce overwhelm and increase focus on meaningful values. For emotional regulation she may introduce dialectical behavior therapy skills when someone needs tools to manage intense feelings.

Annie has experience assessing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning when that information will help guide care. She explains assessment findings in plain language and uses them to shape practical next steps. Her goal is for clients to leave sessions with clear, manageable tasks they can use between meetings.

People who choose her often want a collaborative, straightforward approach. She aims to create a space where clients feel heard and come away with tools they can try in everyday life.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where you want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with experiments and skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical strategies for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can be good for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps you sort thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or a busy home life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
