About Phyllis
Dr. Phyllis Ingram is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with grief and loss, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career difficulties, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also assists with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and issues common in midlife and aging.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She invites clients to talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment and focuses on clear steps that address immediate concerns. Conversations in sessions include ways to manage sleep, reduce panic symptoms, and handle social anxiety or phobic reactions when they interfere with daily life.
Dr. Ingram draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. That may include structured exercises, problem-solving strategies, and tools to build confidence and coping skills. She tailors the pacing to what each person needs in the moment and checks in about what is working.
Over three decades of practice have included work with caregivers, blended family issues, first responder stress, and challenges tied to aging. Her experience supports practical planning for life transitions and caregiver strain, and she helps people sort through feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Dr. Ingram uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks issues into small, manageable steps and helps people test what works in day-to-day life. This approach is useful for career problems, sleep difficulties, and managing stress.Another technique is exposure-based practice for anxiety and phobic reactions. It involves gradual, controlled steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence in challenging social situations. That method can be paired with breathing or grounding exercises to reduce panic symptoms during practice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's goals, preferences, and the pace they want. Progress is checked regularly and adjustments are made together when needed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Therapists can also adapt sessions when someone prefers fewer visual demands or needs a faster, phone-style check-in.
