About Phyllis
Phyllis Siebern is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She draws on three years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based ideas to shape sessions. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and practice grounding techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and conversational, with room for warmth and occasional humor. Phyllis pays close attention to safety and intense emotions, including self-harm concerns and personality disorder traits. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, eating-related struggles, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and issues around forgiveness.
Her goal is to make tools manageable and relevant to daily life. People who appreciate clear guidance tend to do well with her style. She aims to make each session feel like a focused opportunity to try small changes.
Progress is treated as step-by-step work rather than quick fixes. Therapy with Phyllis combines practical skill-building and compassionate listening. She helps people practice new responses to old patterns and build routines that support emotional stability.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises and practical homework to try between meetings, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. In remote sessions DBT can break skills into short practices and real-time coaching through text or chat for managing intense moments.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness through simple breathing and grounding practices. These techniques can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and trauma symptoms.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that fit each person. Sessions can shift over time as goals change and different skills are tried.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text provide quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on skills in everyday life.
