About Phyllis
LCSW in Virginia with 10 years of experience. Phyllis Skeeter helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
She works in a direct, practical way. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps to change patterns that cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a main method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make everyday life more manageable.
Phyllis also gives attention to adoption and foster care concerns, postpartum mood changes, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, impulsivity, and issues common to young adults. She notices how these situations affect relationships and self-worth, and brings that into session planning. Practical strategies and short exercises are offered between sessions when helpful.
Clients can expect work on specific problems like improving communication, handling big life transitions, or reducing depressive symptoms through small, testable changes. Therapy often involves setting concrete goals, practicing new skills, and checking what helps over time.
She practices in Virginia as an LCSW and conducts clinical work informed by ten years in the field. To begin, people use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Using CBT online and finding the right fit
CBT focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into parts and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. This approach is often used for depression, low self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.Phyllis applies CBT to relationship and family concerns by helping clients notice recurring thought patterns and try different responses. Work may include brief exercises in session and practice tasks between meetings to build new habits over time.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on what actually helps.
