About Phyllis
Phyllis Lambert is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or relationship problems. Her style is straightforward and kind, aimed at helping clients take the next step rather than getting stuck on labels.
She uses conversations to uncover what matters most to each person. Sessions often include skills for managing distress, clearer ways to talk about tough topics, and support for making real-life changes.
Background and approach
Phyllis draws on approaches that balance emotional insight with concrete techniques. Over more than two decades she has worked across varied settings in Wyoming and Connecticut as an LPC - licensed professional counselor. That experience shaped a flexible way of working that fits different rhythms and needs.
She pays attention to how past experiences affect current choices and relationships. People come to her for help with sleep and eating disruptions, recovering from trauma and abuse, burnout or compassion fatigue, and challenges like ADHD or mood instability. She also supports those facing career changes, parenting stress, or questions about intimacy and identity.
Phyllis aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can try new strategies and build habits that last. She emphasizes collaboration, so goals and methods are agreed on together and adjusted as progress is made.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client so they feel understood and can explore options. This approach helps people who need a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and for breaking cycles linked to addiction or mood issues.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people coping with mood instability, overwhelming anger, or self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. Methods can be adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video can be used for lengthier sessions and real-time interaction, phone calls offer a simpler, lower bandwidth option, and chat or messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep momentum, access help from different locations, and choose what feels most practical on any given day.
