About Phillip
Phillip Hawkins is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. He supports concerns tied to parenting, LGBTQ issues, addictions, grief, trauma, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem. He works from Texas and communicates in English.
Phillip uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening. He asks about what matters to the person sitting across from him and builds a plan around those priorities.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than rigid scripts. He blends Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols with straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the need. That mix can help with mood shifts, anxiety patterns, and coping during big life changes.
He also brings existential perspectives when clients are wrestling with purpose and identity. Sessions often explore how past relationships, religious experiences, or early abandonment shape current choices. He offers space to talk through difficult histories like church-related trauma, adoption and foster care issues, or long-term caregiving stress.
Work on addictions, including sexual compulsive behaviors, focuses on understanding triggers and building healthier routines. Phillip aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while tailoring conversation and exercises to each person. He encourages steady progress through short-term skills and deeper reflective work, depending on what the individual needs.
If someone wants straightforward guidance paired with reflective exploration, he builds the plan together with them.

Online support
Bringing Jungian ideas and practical therapy online
Phillip combines Jungian-informed exploration with practical, evidence-based tools. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and personal meaning to help people understand life patterns and identity questions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and letting the client lead the pace and topics of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Phillip talks with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, then suggests which methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods if something isn’t working or if needs change over time.
Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation and are good for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a better choice for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick updates, ongoing coaching, or moment-to-moment coping between sessions. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use the style of communication that feels most practical for individual circumstances.
