   Dr. Phillips is a Georgia psychologist with 15 years of experience. She practices in a client-centered way, meaning she adapts to what each person needs and prefers.

Her approach also addresses shame, guilt, codependency, and social anxiety with simple, steady guidance.

   Her background includes psychological assessment work, looking at cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. That experience informs clear feedback and targeted recommendations when testing is part of care.

   Dr. Phillips aims to be genuine and compassionate in sessions. She works to understand each person's story and to support progress toward better day-to-day functioning and stronger relationships.

2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

   Motivational interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation for goals like reducing substance use or improving routines.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trouble finding purpose.
   
   Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring each session to the person in front of the therapist. It supports a collaborative pace and lets the client guide what to work on next.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.
   
   The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up helps, and options that can reduce travel time.
