How her therapeutic methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and building a trusting working relationship so clients can name what they want to change and move toward it.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Phyllis will help clients choose which methods to use based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. She adapts tools over time as progress is made and obstacles come up.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and maintaining regular contact without extra travel. Online work can make it easier to schedule evening or weekend appointments and to continue care during life transitions.
