She is very down to earth. I enjoy listening to what she has to say about my problems, and just the problem from a general standpoint. She’s so extremely kind and caring :)

More about Phyllis
- 24 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have worked with people of all ages since 1981. I went to graduate school, earned an MSW in 1999, and have an advanced clinical license in PA (LCSW). I view therapy as intensive individual teaching to resolve issues that get in the way of moving toward the best person an individual can be. My faith, surrounding myself with family and friends and finding joy in helping others are things that sustain me which keep me in a positive frame of mind.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I appreciate the time Phyllis took to speak with me. She is always attentive, thoughtful, and caring. This has been a very difficult time and experience for me, and her support has helped me get through it.
I appreciate how calm and down to earth she is. I also appreciate the balance of spiritual and psychological aspects, because I’ve gone to some where they only use the Bible and don’t provide any practical techniques to go along with it.
Phyllis Hartman has extensive experience in care-giver issues. Her guidance has had a profound impact on our family!
Phyllis is such a blessing. The first time I met her I was completely distraught, and so full of anxiety. My last meeting we both noticed that I seemed to finally have a bit of peace. I’m so thankful we were paired together, as she was so very helpful and attentive to my needs.
I have been on the platform for a while and this is the best Therapist I have been with this far. I have had 13. Extremely knowledgeable, she has a ton of experience and I can seriously tell. I definitely recommend Phyllis
