About Philip
Philip Clary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. Philip aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can take small steps that add up to real change.
He brings 11 years of counseling experience from inpatient and outpatient settings. Philip studied philosophy and German at Mercer University and completed a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Fort Valley State University.
Background and approach
A year of study at Phillips Universität in Marburg, Germany, also shaped his outlook. Philip uses ideas from existential and narrative therapies to help people examine meaning, purpose, and identity. He mixes in mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind.
Solution-focused work helps with clear goals and concrete next steps. When helpful, Philip also uses hypnotherapy techniques to support relaxation and focus. He sometimes draws on stories from popular culture - like video games, comics, anime, and superhero films - to connect therapeutic ideas to things clients already relate to.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Philip listens for what matters most to each person and then tailors approaches to fit. He helps people consider questions such as how they want to live the next chapter of their life and how to reconnect with others.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Existential Therapy helps people ask practical questions about meaning, purpose, and how they want to live. It is useful for those facing life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or questions about direction.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-moment skills to reduce reactivity and calm the body. These exercises can help with anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm by training attention and breathing.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on concrete goals and small doable steps. It is helpful when someone wants fast, practical progress on problems like relationship patterns, career decisions, or coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or blend methods together. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people see verbal and visual cues, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for focused, time-limited conversations, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
