About Phillip

Phillip Hawkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and LGBTQIA-related concerns, and has developed particular expertise in supporting those dealing with process addictions such as porn or other sexual compulsive behaviors. He also assists individuals recovering from highly controlled religious environments and church-related trauma.

His work is rooted in a client-centered approach, which means he begins by listening closely to each person’s priorities and shapes the conversation and treatment plan around their needs rather than following a rigid, predetermined method. He aims to treat every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring dialogue and goals to the situation at hand.

Phillip strives to create an environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they take courageous steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling lives, offering practical guidance and emotional support along the way.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Phillip Hawkins integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and begins by following the client’s lead - it helps people clarify what matters most and build confidence in their own choices. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it can be especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep someone stuck. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it is often helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulse-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Phillip works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and adaptable over time.

Online therapy with Phillip is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location and can help maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or circumstances change.
