How these approaches guide online work
Phyllis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and focuses on change that can be tested between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach helps clarify values and strengthen the motivation to try new choices. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to find small, practical solutions that fit a person's daily life and priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can shift as new needs emerge.
