More about Philip

  • 25 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am licensed in Georgia with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence, etc.. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Living a healthy and fulfilling life on life’s terms can be achieved if one takes the time to apply one’s strengths and their right of self-determination in mastering this goal. Mental health can often be a choice… When we choose to show kindness and demonstrate compassion to ourselves and others our wellness thrives. I am a licensed independent clinician. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a master’s in clinical social work (LCSW) as well as a masters in addiction counselling (MAC). I have been practicing various forms of social work and therapy for over 25 years and have a wide range of experience from practicing crisis counseling during 9/11 in NYC to working in inpatient psychiatric units utilizing brief therapies for those experiencing profound crisis – to championing those most vulnerable populations including children and the elderly. I have most recently worked with veterans suffering from depression, PTSD, anxiety and substance use disorder as well as other various co-morbid psychiatric diagnosis. I work with adults in a full spectrum of settings and modalities including but not limited to life coaching, brief talk therapy, crisis counseling, long term therapy and case management

I practice different types of clinical approaches including, but not limited to: Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) as well as Problem Solving Therapy (PST), etc. I believe the therapeutic alliance between a therapist and an individual will have a major impact on a successful outcome regardless of therapeutic approach. Utilizing a strengths perspective approach, I strive to empower individuals to live their best life and ultimately move toward fulfilling their full potential. I believe in actively listening as well as validating and supporting individuals in addition to offering tangible and concrete life skills to improve quality of everyday life. Life can be a challenge, let’s embrace it together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
