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 issues, and bipolar symptoms. Her additional focus areas include forgiveness, personality disorders, and self-harm.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mixes in mindfulness tools. Sessions can include direct skill practice and clear steps to try between meetings.
Phyllis prefers a plain, honest approach and sometimes uses gentle humor to ease tense moments. She aims to listen and reflect, then move quickly to specific strategies the person can use when they feel overwhelmed or reactive. That can mean work on thinking patterns, emotion regulation skills, or short practices to calm the body.
People often come to her for anger that shows up at work, at home, or in relationships with others. She also supports people coping with trauma, ongoing anxiety, or struggles with substance use and eating. Her work focuses on what can be practiced and repeated in daily life.
Change is framed as possible but effortful. Phyllis helps people identify small, doable steps. She encourages follow-through and regular review of what works and what needs adjusting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Phyllis commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working remotely. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help when feelings escalate quickly and need practical tools to calm down.Mindfulness techniques are also used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These are short exercises someone can practice between sessions to notice triggers and pause before acting. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which mix of skills fits a person's goals and daily life needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and support practicing skills in real contexts. The therapist will help pick session length and rhythm that match work, family, and day-to-day obligations so therapeutic work can be sustainable and practical.
