About Phyllis

Phyllis Siebern is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem problems, and bipolar symptoms. She also focuses on forgiveness, personality disorders, and self-harm. Phyllis works in clear, direct language and keeps conversations focused on practical next steps.

Before offering counseling under her LPC credential, she spent many years in other mental health roles. That background gave her exposure to a range of settings and common challenges. She draws on that experience to suggest concrete tools people can try between sessions.

Her approach uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas alongside mindfulness practices. In sessions she looks at unhelpful thought patterns and everyday habits, then tests small behavior changes to see what helps. She explains techniques in plain terms and checks in about how they fit with daily life.

Phyllis describes her style as straightforward and occasionally humorous. She aims to make discussions clear and practical rather than abstract. People who prefer step-by-step skills and short-term goals tend to find this approach useful.

She works in English and sees clients in Arizona under her LPC credential. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time. To begin, people follow the online matching process and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Phyllis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practice small behavior changes that can break those patterns. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework so progress can be tracked between meetings.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, which focus on practical coping skills for intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT-based skills can be useful for managing anger, strong mood swings, and urges linked to self-harm and addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals, current difficulties, and what feels doable. That collaboration includes checking whether a technique is helping and adjusting the plan when needed.

The therapist's original profile does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit short, regular check-ins into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and try practical exercises from home or another quiet place. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep using skills between sessions.
