About Annie

Dr. Annie Phillips welcomes adults seeking practical, compassionate help for stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at increasing coping skills, restoring balance, and helping clients move toward clearer goals. Dr.

Phillips highlights flexibility in treatment and aims to create a comfortable therapeutic environment where people can explore difficult feelings and make realistic changes. Her practice draws on a blend of evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies alongside acceptance-based and client-centered techniques.

With 15 years of experience as a licensed psychologist in Georgia (GA Psychologist PSY003556), she has worked with a broad range of concerns such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, anger, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Dr.

Phillips emphasizes empathy, genuineness, and respect for each person's experience while tailoring interventions to individual needs. Clients can expect an approach that balances skill-building with thoughtful exploration of values and meaning.

She also has experience conducting psychological assessments of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning when those evaluations are useful for treatment planning.

Approaches for change and how online therapy supports them

Dr. Phillips commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful changes. Client-centered therapy is also a core element of her work, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the pace and focus of treatment.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different strategies, adjusting methods over time to find the most useful combination of skill-building and exploration.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These formats support continuity of care and let clients practice new skills between sessions while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
