Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Phillips uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, values, and the choices they face when life feels uncertain. This approach is helpful for people wrestling with big questions, grief, or major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes to improve mood and behavior. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation and setting achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what helps and what does not, making the work collaborative and flexible.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or help when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support brief updates and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
