About Annie

Dr. Annie Phillips is a Georgia Psychologist (GA Psychologist PSY003556) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

She uses a client-centered stance to shape sessions around what the person needs. That can include cognitive behavioral strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. It can also mean drawing on acceptance and commitment ideas or dialectical behavior tools when those fit a client’s goals.

In practical terms she focuses on helping people feel more comfortable in the therapy room and on setting clear goals to work toward. She talks through patterns around control, communication, commitment, and codependency. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and midlife or career transitions.

Her background includes assessment work for cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. That means she can offer evaluations alongside therapy when an assessment is helpful for planning care. Her mix of approaches is intended to be flexible rather than one-size-fits-all.

People who prefer straightforward, practical sessions tend to respond well to her style. She aims to help clients build skills they can use between appointments, such as emotion regulation, problem-solving, and clearer communication. Appointments follow a goal-directed pace and are adjusted as progress and needs evolve.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Phillips often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit an online format. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning acceptance skills to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help when anger stems from avoidance or stuck patterns. CBT breaks situations into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful reactions, which works well for temper management and workplace frustration.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will work with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. Adjustments are routine as skill-building and problem-solving progress.

The therapist’s biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. It also supports regular practice of skills between appointments. If an assessment is needed, that component can be discussed and scheduled as part of planning care.
