Approach-driven online therapy for practical change

Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and anger. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is used to build internal motivation and clarify personal goals when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. It helps people identify values and small steps that feel doable.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Phyllis will talk with each person about their situation, try strategies that fit their goals, and adjust methods as needed. Together they decide which techniques best match the person’s needs and preferences, with attention to practical progress rather than theory alone.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and practice skills during everyday life.
