About Eileen
Eileen OBrien Phelps is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 28 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related issues. Her approach aims to build confidence and use each person's strengths to move forward.
She begins by listening carefully to what matters most to the client. Then she helps people set clear, achievable goals and chooses practical steps to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's comfort and needs. Eileen combines several approaches to tailor care. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She uses client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person's priorities and values. She also incorporates EMDR for people coping with traumatic memories and trauma-focused strategies when those issues are present. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to develop coping tools and break problems into manageable pieces.
Her work often addresses parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, anger, life changes, and attention concerns such as ADHD. She also supports people facing adoption or foster care questions, first responder stress, postpartum depression, and adjustment after disasters. Eileen practices in Florida and offers sessions in English.
Her style is direct but warm. She helps people notice strengths they may have lost sight of and builds a clear plan for change. She invites clients to try small steps that can lead to steady progress.

Online support
Approach, trauma care, and online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients decide what matters most, which is useful for people feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that get in the way of daily life.
EMDR is used when traumatic memories or intense reactions are getting in the way of living. It involves structured processing of distressing memories alongside guided procedures to reduce their emotional hold. This can be helpful for those with post-traumatic stress or lingering trauma symptoms.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their situation, goals, and comfort level. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel for deeper work and EMDR-style sessions when appropriate. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief coaching, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
