About Phyllis
Her work has included supporting survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting in Parkland as part of a community wellness response, where she helped create treatment plans that emphasized holistic health through activities such as exercise, art therapy, and support groups. She currently supports families in hospice settings, guiding them through grief and loss with compassion and practical care.
Phyllis integrates a trauma-informed framework that emphasizes safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment. She also uses evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help clients build practical skills and strategies. Her primary aim is to provide a supportive space that fosters healing, self-awareness, and resilience by highlighting individual strengths and developing a personalized toolbox for overcoming challenges. She invites people who are ready to invest in their well-being to consider this collaborative work.
Approaches and Online Support for Healing
Phyllis Jeannestal integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed principles into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's perspective, helping individuals feel understood and encouraging self-directed growth; it is well suited for issues around self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused and trauma-informed practices prioritize safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment, guiding those affected by traumatic events toward stabilization and gradual healing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration can adjust over time as goals evolve and progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the therapeutic relationship and focus on meaningful change.
