Background and approach

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship work and incorporates EMDR when trauma memories feel stuck. Clients can expect clear, short-term strategies alongside deeper processing when needed. Mindfulness practices and breathing exercises are used to ground intense emotions.

Motivational interviewing is included for people wrestling with substance use or big ambivalence about change. Philicia’s background includes crisis counseling, community-based work, and group therapy. Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to meet people where they are.

She holds a master’s degree in professional counseling and has worked in the field since 2013. Sessions focus on real-life problems like work stress, relationship strain, grief, attention challenges such as ADHD, and coping with chronic illness or pain. Philicia works with adults and couples to set clear goals and use tools that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Philicia often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new responses. CBT focuses on concrete skills that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. She also brings EMDR into online work when past events feel stuck; EMDR helps process distressing memories so they cause less disruption in daily life.

Mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques are woven into sessions to help manage intense feelings in the moment. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust plans based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and ongoing motivation between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain steady progress over time.
