About Annie
Dr. Annie Phillips is a Georgia psychologist (GA Psychologist PSY003556) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, life changes, ADHD, addictions, grief, depression, and family concerns including family of origin issues.
She centers her work on a client-centered stance, aiming to adapt to the person's style and needs. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, or skills from dialectical behavior therapy as appropriate. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside space to talk through feelings and patterns.
Dr. Phillips also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She helps people recognize how roles and expectations from the family they grew up in may still shape choices and relationships now. Conversations include coping skills, communication practice, and decision-making about commitments.
Her background includes psychological assessment work across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral areas. That assessment experience informs case formulation and helps identify strengths and challenges for treatment planning.
People can expect straightforward sessions that mix talking, skills practice, and reflection. Dr. Phillips aims to work collaboratively on goals such as reducing anxiety, improving communication, or sorting through changes like separation or career shifts.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where deciding what matters is central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that come from family expectations.
Dr. Phillips treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean trying CBT techniques for immediate symptom relief, then using ACT or client-centered work to address longer-standing patterns.
