About Phyllis Marcus

Phyllis Marcus is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 30 years of clinical experience to her work and has supported people facing a wide range of life challenges. An LMFT is a license for therapists who specialize in couples and family systems, while an LMHC is a license for clinicians who provide mental health counseling. 

Over her career she has counseled battered women, abused children, adolescents and adults dealing with substance use, military veterans and active duty service members and their families, and has provided family and couples therapy. She has also worked with people diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness and, earlier in her career, with individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities. That breadth of experience informs a flexible, person-focused approach to care. 

Her style is eclectic, grounded in respect and kindness, and guided by a persistent optimism about people’s capacity to change. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that help clients move toward the lives they imagine, while holding to the belief that everyone’s story can have a happy ending. Although she is not currently accepting new clients, she has worked with people in Florida and with international clients.

Could virtual therapy be the right fit?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy is regarded as comparable to traditional in-person sessions for many clients.

One of the clearest benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level - by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistent care when life is busy or unpredictable.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers an effective, accessible way to engage with evidence-based approaches and to work toward meaningful change.
