Getting to know Emily Phillips

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Tampa, Florida, specializing in supporting children, teens, and their families. I help young people navigate anxiety, emotional struggles, and life transitions through a blend of structure, empathy, and evidence-based practice. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where your child can build confidence, resilience, and healthier ways to cope. My approach I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help kids and teens understand their emotions, build coping skills, and develop healthier thought patterns. I also believe in the power of parent collaboration—working closely with caregivers to support progress at home and ensure lasting change. Together, we create a team that empowers your child to grow and thrive. My focus I work best with children and teens who are experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, low self-esteem, or difficulty adjusting to changes at home, school, or with peers. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, and their parents often feel unsure of how to help. In our work together, I provide a structured, supportive environment where young people can learn practical skills to manage their emotions, improve communication, and build confidence, while parents receive guidance and tools to support their child’s growth every step of the way. My communication style In session, I create a calm, nonjudgmental space where kids and teens feel heard, respected, and safe to be themselves. I practice active listening—tuning in with empathy, curiosity, and genuine attention—so each child knows their voice matters. I communicate with honesty, warmth, and age-appropriate language, helping them feel empowered and understood. I also keep parents informed with regular check-ins and collaborative feedback, so everyone feels supported and connected throughout the treatment process.
