About Phyllis

Phyllis Siebern is an LPC who draws on years working across mental health settings to offer practical, skills-based care. She centers her work on helping people develop tools to manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and trauma-related concerns, integrating approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Background and approach

Her background also includes supporting clients dealing with addictions, eating difficulties, bipolar mood patterns, self-harm, personality disorder challenges, low self-esteem, and issues around forgiveness. She describes her therapeutic manner as empathetic and genuine, favoring a straightforward style that still allows room for warmth and occasional humor.

Sessions focus on collaboration and teaching concrete strategies that clients can apply between meetings, with attention to both immediate coping and longer-term change. Phyllis brings three years of licensed practice as an LPC in Arizona and offers services in English for clients located within the state.

She does not accept international clients at this time.

Practical approaches for online healing

Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practice alternative ways of thinking and behaving that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another approach she draws on to teach concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to evaluate symptoms, goals, and personal preferences so that treatment strategies match the individual's needs rather than relying on a single method from the start. Together they track progress and adjust techniques as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home. Those formats also allow for practical skill coaching between sessions and quick check-ins when useful, helping clients use therapeutic tools in real time while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
