Dr. Annie Phillips , GA Psychologist PSY003556

Dr. Annie Phillips brings more than 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and couples as they navigate life changes and emotional challenges. She emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s comfort and individual goals, adapting her style to meet the needs of the moment.

Known for genuine empathy and an aim toward unconditional positive regard, she works to create a therapeutic environment where people feel understood and empowered to pursue meaningful change. Her practice addresses a broad spectrum of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, depression, and career or life-purpose questions, among others. Dr. Phillips also attends to patterns rooted in family of origin, communication and control issues, codependency, and midlife or transitional struggles.

In addition to therapy, she conducts psychological assessments that evaluate cognitive or intellectual functioning as well as emotional and behavioral functioning. She is a licensed psychologist in Georgia (GA Psychologist PSY003556).

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Annie Phillips uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals direct the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps with building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and resolving interpersonal concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on; ACT helps people clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and habit-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Phillips collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as clients progress to keep the work aligned with what matters most to them.

Online therapy with Dr. Phillips offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from different locations and at different times. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage in ongoing support without travel.
