About Phillip

Phillip Hawkins is a Texas-licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. He holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential indicating advanced training to provide clinical therapy and case management. Over two decades he has worked with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and issues related to intimacy and self-esteem.

He has particular experience addressing addictions, including process and sexual compulsive behaviors, and assisting clients who are recovering from high-control religious environments or church-related trauma. His practice also engages with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and a variety of additional concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and codependency. He offers informed care for LGBTQIA-related matters and for those navigating adoption, foster care, or abandonment experiences.

Phillip uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes each person’s voice and goals. He tailors dialogue and treatment plans to meet unique needs, approaching every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He frames psychotherapy as a collaborative process, supporting and empowering clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Phillip Hawkins frequently draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's priorities and helps clarify goals while providing empathic support, which can be useful for relationship concerns, identity questions, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and skill-oriented, often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. DBT teaches skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and patterns of impulsive behavior.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Phillip works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from different settings and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions and support regular contact with licensed professionals who can guide treatment effectively.
