Hello,

Thank you for viewing my profile. I would be honored to work with you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach. I am licensed in Georgia and have worked with individuals from various backgrounds with a variety of concerns. I have assisted individuals in addressing issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, women's issues, work challenges, stage of life issues and grief/loss (to name a few).

My counseling approach is collaborative, compassionate , empathic and warm. I believe everyone should be heard from a non-judgmental perspective and treated with respect. I utilize strategies that include: cognitive behavioral, client-centered, solution-focused, psychodynamic and motivational interviewing counseling. We will work together to address your specific concerns and create a customized solution focused plan.

I commend you for deciding to pursue counseling. It takes courage to decide to make positive life changes. I would love the opportunity to assist you in moving forward to create the the change you desire.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I went through a few professionals who weren’t a good fit and then I found Phyllis. I am happy with our work thus far and I’m sure I’ll continue to grow from our sessions.
