About Phyllis
Phyllis Siebern is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She emphasizes clear tools and steps people can use to manage difficult feelings. She aims to make sessions feel genuine and straightforward, and she sometimes uses humor to ease tense moments.
Phyllis draws on three years of LPC experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and bipolar mood challenges. She also focuses on forgiveness, personality disorders, and self-harm. Her background includes work across different mental health settings over the last 15 years, which shaped her belief that people can heal with the right tools.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, learn coping skills for strong emotions, and practice grounding or attention strategies. Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented, with specific skills to try between meetings.
She describes her style as empathetic and genuine. People can expect a direct style that still values being heard and understood. Humor is introduced when it feels appropriate to reduce tension and build connection.
Phyllis acknowledges that change is hard but possible. She works with each person to set realistic steps and build skills they can use outside of sessions.
