About Philip

Background and approach

Philip draws on existential ideas to help people name their values and choices. He blends practical techniques and reflective dialogue so people can try different ways of coping and making decisions. Philip brings 11 years of counseling experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

He has a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University and a bachelors degree in philosophy and German from Mercer University. A year studying at Phillips Universite4t in Marburg, Germany broadened his perspective. In therapy he may use narrative approaches to help clients reframe life stories.

He also uses mindfulness practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. When it fits, he blends solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and steps forward. Philip sometimes brings cultural touchstones into sessions, like video games, comics, anime, or movies, to make ideas more relatable.

He invites clients to consider how they want to live going forward and to build small, workable changes toward that life.

Online support

How existential and mindfulness approaches work online

Existential Therapy helps people tackle big life questions about meaning, choice, and purpose. Online sessions can provide space to name values, consider options, and make decisions when life feels uncertain. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for reducing stress and staying present; these exercises can be guided over video or through short written prompts for daily practice. Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and suggestion to support change in behavior or habits and can be adapted to guided audio or live sessions depending on what feels right for the client.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist explores goals and preferences together with each person to decide which methods fit. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting plans based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a near in-person conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, daily support, or scheduling around busy days. These options make it easier to fit regular work on goals into a real-life schedule.
