Dr. Annie Phillips, GA Psychologist PSY003556

About Annie

Dr. Annie Phillips offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and life transitions. She is comfortable helping with mood issues, ADHD, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and problems with intimacy or communication.

Dr. Phillips keeps sessions focused on real-world change and on small steps a parent or individual can try between meetings. Her style is warm and client-centered.

That means she listens first, then shapes sessions around each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to build coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and existential thinking when those approaches fit. Dr.

Phillips holds the Georgia psychologist license PSY003556 and brings 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked with children, teens, and adults across many concerns, which helps her translate strategies to different ages. She emphasizes clear communication and practical exercises rather than jargon.

In sessions she helps clients set manageable goals, practice new skills, and rethink difficult choices. Parents looking for guidance on family stress, boundaries, or communication will find concrete tools and steady support. She aims to make the therapy room feel like a place to try things out and learn what works.

Her approach includes formal assessment when needed to clarify cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning. Assessments are used to guide treatment and to help clients and caregivers understand strengths and challenges.

How specific approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live by their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It teaches practical exercises to notice painful thoughts without letting them drive actions and can help with anxiety, life transitions, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses step-by-step practice to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and issues with mood or behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high, which can be useful for relationship conflict and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Phillips will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and situation. She listens to what has or hasn’t worked before and adapts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to follow through between sessions. Many people find virtual sessions convenient for practicing skills in real life and for keeping therapy consistent during transitions or travel.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
