Online support

Using focused approaches for online support

Dr. Phillips often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical skills such as tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, and building coping strategies for day-to-day life.

She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, values, and life choices when facing transitions or loss. This approach helps people clarify what matters and make decisions that fit their values. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change; it helps identify personal goals and boosts motivation for practical steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to see what feels most useful and adjust the work together.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow for ongoing support between sessions and can be used for brief coaching, reflection, or homework follow-up while fitting into a hectic schedule.
