Practical approaches for online care
Phyllis uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small changes in behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by breaking problems into clear steps and practicing new habits.She also draws on motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change. That approach focuses on listening, drawing out motivation, and setting achievable next steps. Solution-focused therapy helps set specific short-term goals and track progress in ways that feel doable day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phyllis collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies as progress is made so the plan stays practical and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.
