About Phyllis

Phyllis Babrove is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Phyllis also helps people managing anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and depression.

She trained later in life and has held a range of social work roles. That experience includes crisis counseling, school social work, working with children and families involved in abuse situations, and supporting adolescents in a diversion program. She has also worked with young people who had emotional or behavioral problems and with substance use issues.

Phyllis co-facilitated parenting groups focused on improving communication with adolescents. She has practical experience guiding parents through daily conflicts and teaching clearer ways to connect with teens. Her background includes family counseling and work around family of origin problems.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, and Systemic perspectives. She uses these approaches to help people set concrete goals, try small changes, and notice what does and does not work in relationships and routines.

Phyllis works with individuals and couples. She aims to keep conversations straightforward and focused on everyday life problems. People can expect direct talk about coping strategies and steps they can try between sessions.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings, set priorities, and be heard without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors for anxiety, depression, or coping with stress. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps attention on small, achievable changes and clear goals to move forward quickly.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Phyllis will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant to daily life and immediate concerns.

The practical benefit of using online options is fitting sessions into a busy schedule. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to schedule an evening or weekend meeting, fit a short check-in around work, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people practice skills, set small goals, and review what changed between meetings.
