She also helps with codependency, communication problems, control issues, and midlife questions. Her experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, and she brings that perspective into the work she does with each client.

She holds the credential GA Psychologist PSY003556, which identifies her as a Georgia psychologist. Dr. Phillips also conducts psychological assessments of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning when those evaluations are helpful to shaping care.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life. It teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and move forward despite them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and preferences. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathic listening, and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing a plan. This approach supports people who need a respectful, collaborative space.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and substance-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try things out, and adjust strategies based on what helps. Clients and the therapist choose methods together so the work fits each person's needs and preferences.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter check-in when schedules are tight. A therapist can also recommend shorter or longer sessions depending on goals and time constraints.
