Phyllis Babrove, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Phyllis

Phyllis Babrove is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, people-focused methods to help families and parents with everyday struggles. She draws on ten years of experience to offer clear guidance for stress, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties. Parents will find straightforward support for anxiety, grief, addiction, and life transitions.

She began her social work career after attending school later in life and has worked in a variety of settings.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting children and families involved in abuse situations and providing crisis counseling. She has also worked with adolescents in a diversion program and served as a school social worker. Phyllis has experience helping children with emotional and behavioral problems and those facing substance use challenges.

She co-facilitated parenting groups that taught communication skills for parents of adolescents. Those group settings emphasized practical tools parents can use at home. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental.

She aims to make sessions easy to talk through, treating every person with respect and compassion. The focus is on helping people reach their goals and feel more satisfied with where they are in life. Therapeutic methods she uses include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy.

She works with individuals and couples and offers flexible scheduling that can include evenings and weekends. Her practice is based in Florida and sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches and online support for family and parenting

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person says. It helps parents and family members feel heard and work toward their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phyllis will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on goals, family needs, and personal preferences. She adapts the plan over time and checks in to make sure the approach stays useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people speak face to face when in-person is hard. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide alternatives for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing parenting and other responsibilities.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
