About Phyllis
Phyllis Siebern is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona. She uses clear, direct talk and a warm manner to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy parents and individuals under stress.
She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, and bipolar challenges. Phyllis also pays attention to forgiveness, personality disorder issues, and self-harm concerns when those topics come up in sessions.
How Phyllis works
Her work is grounded in approaches that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Phyllis blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with mindfulness practices. Sessions often include learning specific skills, trying new ways of responding to feelings, and practicing grounding or breathing exercises.
She keeps feedback direct and uses moments of lightness when appropriate. Her style is practical and straightforward. She aims to make tools easy to use between sessions so progress can continue at home.
Phyllis encourages small, steady changes rather than sweeping promises. People meet with her by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. Those options are chosen to fit schedules and comfort levels.
The goal is to find realistic steps forward for each person.

Online support options
Online skill-based therapy with CBT, DBT, and mindfulness
Phyllis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on practical exercises and homework that help reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel intense or when self-harm urges occur. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to slow racing thoughts and build present-moment focus through simple breathing and grounding practices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Phyllis will talk with each person about their goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is to find workable tools that fit the individual’s needs and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a schedule. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone works well for low-bandwidth check-ins, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief check-ins between sessions. These options are intended to give flexibility and more ways to stay consistent with care.
