Phyllis Siebern, LPC

Phyllis Siebern is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who believes that people can heal when given appropriate tools and support. She brings a practical, empathetic approach to therapy, combining straightforward guidance with a sense of genuine understanding. Phyllis emphasizes the importance of feeling heard and accepted while working toward meaningful change.

She works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating issues, low self-esteem, and bipolar symptoms. Additional focus areas include forgiveness, personality disorders, and self-harm. Phyllis uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and integrates mindfulness practices when appropriate to help clients build coping skills and emotional regulation.

With three years of professional experience as an LPC, Phyllis favors a direct style that still leaves room for warmth and occasional humor. She collaborates with each person to develop concrete strategies tailored to their needs and goals. Phyllis recognizes that change is challenging but possible, and she aims to equip clients with practical tools to move forward at a sustainable pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Phyllis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated when helpful to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting stress and anxiety management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Phyllis partners with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques over time to find what works best. The therapeutic plan evolves based on progress and client feedback, so the fit is refined together rather than assumed.

Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, Phyllis provides flexible options that fit varied schedules and lifestyles. Online therapy can make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, and it allows therapy to continue across different life circumstances while focusing on effective, practical change.
