About Colleen
LCSW, 7 years experience. Colleen Phillips helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns. She practices in Mississippi and uses a mix of approaches to support everyday coping and problem solving.
Colleen uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. She listens for what feels most important to each person and then works with them to set small, doable goals. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as coping strategies, behavior changes, and ways to handle tense conversations.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change. These tools are used together rather than as separate programs.
Colleen has worked seven years in social work settings. That experience includes supporting people who have experienced abuse and neglect, and those under caregiver strain. She frames treatment around practical steps and regular check-ins to track progress.
Appointments begin with a brief assessment to identify immediate concerns and priorities. From there she and the person build a plan with measurable goals. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needed.

How Colleen uses practical therapies in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says matters most. It helps people feel heard and guides goal-setting based on their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help with anger, relationship strain, and overwhelming stress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Colleen will review concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. She adjusts methods as progress is tracked, so the plan can change if something is not working well.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use mindfulness or skills practice in real-life settings between meetings, which can speed up learning and application.
