Phyllis Lambert , LPC

Phyllis Lambert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and a range of relationship and life challenges. Her work also addresses women's issues and concerns tied to parenting, grief, and trauma.

Clients will find a direct and practical approach in sessions. Phyllis focuses on clear goals and simple skills people can use between meetings. Conversations cover coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to manage strong emotions.

Her background includes long-term clinical work in Wyoming and Connecticut that spans mood disorders, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. That experience informs how she matches methods to the problem at hand rather than relying on a single technique.

Phyllis draws from several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses client-centered methods to build a respectful, listening-based relationship. Cognitive behavioral tools help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas support emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

People seeking help for intimacy concerns, career stress, ADHD, or caregiving strain can expect pragmatic steps and steady support. Sessions aim to increase coping, reduce symptoms, and improve daily functioning. The emphasis is on realistic change, paced to each person's readiness and life demands.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Phyllis commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard; it helps people sort through feelings and make choices that fit their values. CBT teaches practical steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

She also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into remote sessions when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. DBT offers specific skills for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which many people find useful during stressful life changes. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful and adjust methods over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and practicing conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging give ongoing access for brief updates, coaching between sessions, and flexible scheduling that fits work or caregiving demands.
