Background and approach
She listens for patterns that cause repeated pain and helps clients try new ways of responding. Therapy is collaborative - goals are chosen together and adjusted as needed. Phyllicia uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs.
She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and mindfulness practices to build calm and presence. She also brings psychodynamic and solution-focused perspectives when they fit. With ten years of experience, Phyllicia offers straightforward care that balances problem solving with emotional understanding.
She supports people working through abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also helps those facing divorce, fatherhood concerns, aging issues, and family-of-origin wounds. Phyllicia holds LCSW licensure and sees people throughout Texas.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place online in a variety of formats.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on your experience and priorities. The therapist follows your lead, asks questions, and helps you name what matters. It works well for people who need someone to listen deeply and help clarify feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood over time.
Mindfulness methods help you notice thoughts and bodily tension without getting swept away. Short breathing practices and awareness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Decisions about technique are made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, and staying connected when a full call isn’t possible. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family, work, and other demands.
