How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Phillips commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when helping people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify reasons for change and builds practical momentum for goals. She also integrates narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and how past patterns affect present choices. Selecting an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend strategies that fit the client's needs. If you are considering remote sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support steady work on grief, trauma processing, and coping strategies when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. The therapist will help arrange a session rhythm that suits daily routines and goals.03
