About Phillip
Phillip Hawkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through depression, address LGBTQIA-related concerns, and navigate parenting challenges. He also supports those coping with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and bipolar concerns.
He uses a client-centered style that begins with what the person brings to the room. Sessions start by naming immediate concerns and priorities. From there he and the client agree on practical steps to try between meetings. Conversations are direct and focused on everyday life - work, family, health, and relationships.
Phillip draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns and develop new coping skills. He also uses Client-Centered and Existential perspectives to explore values, meaning, and how choices fit into a person’s life. Imago relationship ideas can be introduced when relationship communication is a central issue.
Philip’s years of work include helping people recover from controlling religious environments and address sexual compulsive behaviors and other process addictions. He is comfortable talking about sensitive topics like kink and alternative sexual culture, body image, abandonment, and adoption or foster care history.

BHow sessions work
How Phillip’s approaches translate to online sessions
Phillip commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with people. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person’s concerns and letting sessions be led by those priorities. It helps when someone needs to sort out what matters most in their life. CBT looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the best approach is part of the work he does with each person. He will review goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback shapes what comes next and how tools are used between sessions.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are listed through the platform’s scheduling flow. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and keep continuity when life gets disrupted. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the formats offered. Talk with him during the matching steps about timing, length, and the practical details that will help therapy fit your everyday routine.
