Eileen OBrien Phelps, LMHC

Eileen OBrien Phelps is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 28 years of experience supporting people through depression, stress and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She also brings experience working with concerns such as substance use challenges, domestic violence, and self-esteem, helping clients make sense of difficult experiences and move toward steadier ground.

She is a 1994 graduate of the University of Maryland system Adlerian school of psychology at Bowie State University. In her work, she takes a holistic, research-based approach and views therapy as a collaborative process in which clients play an active role in shaping meaningful change. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailoring sessions to the needs and goals of each individual.

Eileen works with clients to create a clear, personalized plan for growth, with an emphasis on building confidence and strengthening the abilities that are already present. She understands that intense stress can make strengths feel distant or easy to overlook, and she focuses on helping clients reconnect with what they already have within them so they can face challenges with greater purpose and direction.
