About Phyllis
Phyllis Babrove is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of social work experience and a calm, approachable manner to sessions. She aims to help people make practical changes and feel more satisfied with their lives.
Phyllis uses a systemic viewpoint to look at relationships and patterns that affect daily life. She also draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory. Her background includes work with children and families involved in abuse situations, crisis counseling, adolescent diversion programs, family counseling, and school social work. She has experience supporting people who faced emotional or behavioral challenges and substance use concerns.
She also co-facilitated parenting groups teaching communication skills for parents of adolescents. Phyllis describes herself as compassionate, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. She treats people with respect and focuses on their strengths.
Her goal is to help clients reach their potential and build a life they find satisfying. She meets with individuals and couples and offers flexible hours including some evenings and weekends. Sessions emphasize real-world problem solving, clearer communication, and coping strategies for stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, and life transitions.

Online support
Using systemic and practical approaches in online care
Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect behavior and feelings. It helps identify repeated interaction cycles that feed stress in relationships and family situations. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns, creating space for people to set their own goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, action-oriented techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change coping habits.Choosing the right approach happens collaboratively. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they may try one method first or combine elements from different approaches to find what fits best for the person's situation.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and keep continuity while life is busy.
