That can mean working on specific thoughts and behaviors, examining life meaning and choices, or looking at personal stories that shape how someone sees themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Dr. Phillips commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping steps. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and personal values to help people wrestling with life transitions, grief, and big questions about direction. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change and is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
