About Phyllis
Phyllis Siebern is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem, and bipolar issues. She also pays attention to forgiveness, personality disorder concerns, and self-harm. She asks straightforward questions and listens to what matters to each person.
Phyllis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness methods in sessions. Those approaches shape how she helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage hard emotions. Sessions are practical and focused on useful skills rather than long explanations.
Her style is direct and uncomplicated. She uses clear feedback, gentle humor at times, and simple exercises you can try between sessions. The work often includes skill practice, short behavioral experiments, and steps to reduce reactivity when anger or strong feelings come up.
Phyllis aims to help people build everyday routines that reduce stress and improve emotional control. She supports clients in making small, repeated changes that lead to more predictable reactions over time. The therapist frames progress as gradual and practical rather than instant.
If someone wants to begin, the first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial visit. Phyllis supports people who want concrete tools to handle anger, manage mood swings, and reduce the strain of ongoing stress.
How CBT, DBT and Mindfulness adapt to online work
Phyllis draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and change patterns. DBT emphasizes practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and reducing impulsive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice feelings and bodily signals without getting swept up by them.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods feel most useful for their goals and everyday life. Sessions can shift over time as skills are learned and new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how visits are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and allow use of worksheets and skill coaching between meetings. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in the settings where problems happen, though the exact formats for this therapist should be checked before scheduling.
