Philip Moss , LPC

Philip Moss brings more than 30 years of counseling experience to his work, guiding people with kindness, empathy, and a steady, compassionate presence. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - he supports individuals as they seek to reclaim a sense of happiness and reconnect with their authentic selves. He helps people build skills to accept and manage emotions, thoughts, and aspects of spiritual life while honoring each person’s unique journey.

His practice has included work with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual and spiritual abuse, religious deconstruction, relationship difficulties, and related challenges. He has been an active ally around LGBTQ issues and systemic racism and is committed to addressing the consequences of bullying, isolation, and trauma. Philip prefers the term "emotional and mental challenges" to avoid stigma and to reflect a holistic view of human experience.

Philip uses a variety of methods in his practice, drawing on mindfulness, meditation, creative techniques such as art, and a touch of humor to help people make meaningful change. He applies a holistic perspective in his own life, practicing meditation and mindfulness to remain centered. In his free time he enjoys reading, taking long walks, spending time with family, visiting the ocean, and caring for his cat. He offers collaborative support to walk alongside people as they work toward healing and renewed direction.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Philip Moss integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based practices into his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth and self-discovery; it is helpful for people navigating identity, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple meditation skills that can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor techniques from these methods to fit what will be most useful. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with the client’s values and daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, adapt to changing circumstances, and access support from a licensed professional without the need to travel.
