About Philip

Philip Clary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia who brings a thoughtful, philosophy-informed approach to therapy. He has more than nine years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families across inpatient and outpatient settings, helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

He earned a bachelor’s degree from Mercer University, studying philosophy and German, and spent a year at Philipps-Universität Marburg in Germany. He holds a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University. His ongoing engagement with philosophical ideas shapes his interest in helping clients examine meaning, direction, and purpose in their lives. The LPC credential indicates a state license to practice professional counseling.

Philip works patiently with people coping with shame, loss, isolation, feelings of meaninglessness, and the realities of limited lifespan, supporting them in discovering or creating personal purpose. He integrates elements from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness-based therapy, existential psychotherapy, and narrative therapy to tailor treatment to each person. When it fits the client’s style, he also draws on popular culture such as video games, anime and manga, comics, and superhero stories to explore themes and foster connection.

Philip currently provides text-based therapy through an online service and aims to collaborate with clients to set and meet goals for a more purposeful life.

Existential and Mindful Approaches Delivered Online

Existential therapy helps people explore questions of meaning, freedom, responsibility, and how they want to live their remaining years. It can be useful for those facing emptiness, midlife questions, grief, or a search for life purpose. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills to reduce rumination and manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, often through short exercises and coaching in attention skills. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves, helping clients reframe and rewrite narratives that limit their choices or self-esteem.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapt the plan as progress is made.



Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer communicating from home. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving the collaborative, goal-focused nature of therapy.
