About Phyllis
Phyllis Rowe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, family and relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, motivation and goal-setting, and self-esteem concerns.
She focuses on practical changes people can try between sessions. That often means noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented, with clear steps to try at home.
Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people break patterns of thinking that keep problems going. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck about change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify immediate strengths and short-term goals.
She helps clients talk through relationship and family problems in ways that clarify what matters most and what can change. For issues like grief, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment, and caregiver stress, she works on concrete coping skills and practical planning.
Phyllis has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, blended family matters, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and recovery from domestic violence or other abuse. She also addresses career stress and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters. Her approach emphasizes measurable steps people can take to feel more in control.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used to set up the first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT and brief methods are used in online sessions
Phyllis combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying alternative behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment when they feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on immediate strengths and practical steps to reach short-term goals.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their goals, preferences, and what seems to help. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize thought work, motivational conversations, or quick goal-focused strategies.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

It can also make it simpler to maintain momentum between appointments when homework and skill practice are part of the plan.
