More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 10 State: Florida

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I attended school later in life and I have worked in different areas of social work. The areas include working with children and families that are involved in abuse situations; crisis counseling; working with adolescents in a diversion program; family counseling; and as a school social worker. I also worked with children who had emotional and behavioral problems, and substance abuse issues. I co-facilitated parenting groups that taught parents how to communicate with their adolescent children.

I am compassionate, empathetic, and I care deeply about people being happy. I am easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. I believe that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated with respect.

My goal as a therapist is for people to reach their full potential and be satisfied with where they are in life. My approaches include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Writing Therapy.

Entering into therapy is the first step towards making positive changes and I want to be a part of your journey.

My hours are flexible and include evening and weekend availability.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Love Phyllis- I missed her and really needed her back

Phyllis has been an amazing support system through the ups and downs in my life over the last year and a half. She checks in on me regularly if I don’t have scheduled appointments and it’s very responsive to any messages that I send. She has been a lifeline for me and a time that I needed it and a peace in my life.

Phyllis is very thought provoking. So easy to talk to. Had no hesitation just opening up to her. Her calm demeanor with simple accurate advice is very easy to listen to. Helps guide you to the answers you may already know within yourself.

It's been great for me and I have suggested it to a friend to sign up, hoping it will help her also!

She is great at listening and understanding my situation and problems. Phyllis provides great insight and ways to better myself and deal/manage my issues.

Excellent and caring therapist

This has been my first time doing therapy, but I have wanted to for a long time. I’m glad I started this and I’m glad it was with Phyllis. She is a great listener, very empathetic, and has the necessary skills to help me learn how to recognize and deal with things. I feel comfortable around her and she keeps up with and cares about the things that matter to me. She also knows the exact extent of her limitations and has been very supportive in guiding me to find resources for some specific/niche dynamics. Overall, I highly recommend her as a therapist, whether you’ve done therapy before or otherwise. She is professional and caring, and is definitely worth it.

Phyllis is so kind but very honest and helpful. I look forward to future sessions with her!

Attentive, provide guidance and resources.

Phyllis has given me the kind of personalized support I need, it does not feel like a waste of my time, which tends to be my experience with therapy. I love the way she takes the time to get to know me and my past before tackling current issues!

I met Dr.Phyllis Babrove last year and she really help me discovered on what it means to have emotions, how to hold myself accountable, set up boundaries, and a lot about what self care means. I had to leave therapy due to some financial problems but I recall how she was so kind and understanding and even said I can ask for her again. Glad I am back and able to get in sometime with her once more. It has been helpful just getting professional help and she is the person who I highly recommend due to her patience, understanding, and listening skills.

I am thankful for find her and even more thankful for her advice.

I’ve only had Phyllis for a short time but I really like her and trust her to have my best interest at heart. She gave me a few tips that are already working well. I really like this platform as well and have told a few people about it.
