About Phyllis
Phyllis Skeeter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, family conflict, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care issues, postpartum challenges, pregnancy and childbirth questions, impulsivity, and young adult concerns. Sessions center on practical steps and honest conversation.
Phyllis aims to empower clients to make changes that matter to them.
How Phyllis works
She uses clear, goal-oriented methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior, try small changes, and track what works. Meetings are collaborative and focused on skills that people can use between sessions.
Phyllis brings ten years of experience working with these kinds of concerns. She views each person as the expert on their own life and builds on strengths already present. Her approach is straightforward and supportive rather than lecturing.
People can expect sessions that balance practical tools with space to talk through feelings. Phyllis encourages small experiments that change how people relate to themselves and others. Progress is measured in concrete steps more than labels.
Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She is licensed in Virginia as an LCSW and works within that scope.

Online support options
CBT-based care and flexible online sessions
Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT teaches practical skills for managing low mood, anxiety about relationships, and coping with life changes.The right approach often comes from trying methods together. She works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor exercises and communication strategies to everyday life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when deeper conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send shorter updates, ask quick questions, or keep momentum between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice skills where they are needed.
