About Phyllis
Dr. Phyllis Ingram is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 30 years of experience. She helps adults who are coping with grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career setbacks, and the stress that follows life transitions.
She works in straightforward, practical ways. Sessions focus on talking through the immediate problem and finding steps that feel doable. She listens for what is getting in the way of sleep, relationships, work, or daily energy and then helps clients notice small changes that can make daily life easier.
Dr. Ingram has broad experience with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Guilt and shame are listed among her focus areas and may be addressed in sessions when they come up.
Her style is plainspoken. She aims to reduce complexity and make next steps clear. Conversations often include exploring patterns, practical coping strategies, and ways to rebuild routine and confidence.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. Dr. Ingram works in English and is based in Florida.
Evidence-based approaches and working online
Dr. Ingram uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like anxiety, grief, and sleep disruption. One common method focuses on practical behavior changes and routines to improve sleep and daily energy, helping people try small experiments and notice what works. Another common approach looks at patterns of thinking and feeling that keep someone stuck, supporting them to test different ways of interpreting events and to practice alternative responses.Finding the right way of working is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, what has helped or not helped in the past, and preferences for session style. Together they choose techniques that fit the client's needs and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include fitting therapy into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or not needing extra travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving commitments and to maintain continuity when life changes. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can explain which session arrangements will work best for your situation.
