Philip Andujar, LCSW

Philip Andujar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Alaska who brings both structure and flexibility to therapeutic work. He balances systems-level thinking with attentive listening to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflict, trauma, and depression. Philip is comfortable supporting people with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and substance use challenges, and he works with a wide range of family and relationship issues.

Known for running DBT groups and advocating for broader mental health access, he blends practical skills training with thoughtful, person-centered care. Philip aims to meet clients where they are, offering guidance while allowing space for each person to shape their own path. His approach suits people seeking concrete coping strategies as well as those who need help sorting complex family dynamics or the long-term effects of trauma and abuse.

Philip maintains a commitment to accessible services for diverse clients, including those outside the United States. As an LCSW - a licensed mental health professional trained to provide psychotherapy and clinical social work - he integrates evidence-based techniques with a collaborative, humane stance to support recovery and growth.

DBT, Family Systems, and Remote Care Options

Philip regularly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - which teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-destructive behaviors, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is particularly helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation, impulsivity, and relationship turbulence.

He also applies a family-systems perspective that looks at patterns within relationships and family dynamics. This approach helps identify how roles, communication habits, and boundaries contribute to ongoing conflict or stress and supports changes that can improve functioning across the family system.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Philip collaborates with each client to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so clients feel the approach fits them.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit treatment into busy lives or connect from remote locations. These formats allow flexible scheduling and consistent contact with a licensed professional, supporting continuity of care for people managing work, caregiving, travel, or geographic barriers.
