About Annie
She uses a client-centered style, which means she adapts to each person's needs and preferences. That could look like focusing on thoughts and behavior one week and on values or meaning the next. The goal is to help people feel more comfortable in sessions and move toward the goals they bring in.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, career stress, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with common relationship topics like communication problems, commitment issues, codependency, and separation concerns.
Dr. Phillips draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside acceptance-based approaches and existential ideas about meaning. She also conducts psychological assessments of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning when that information is useful.
People who want straightforward help fitting therapy into busy lives may find her style useful. Her approach is collaborative: she works with each person to set clear goals and choose the methods that best match those goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It often helps with anxiety, life transitions, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship-related thinking traps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, flexible relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and offers understanding and genuine feedback to build trust and agency.Choosing the best approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a longer session is not possible. It can also let people use methods like worksheet exercises, mindfulness practices, or skills coaching from their chosen location, helping therapy feel more integrated into everyday routines.
