About Philip
Philip Zarowny brings an evidence-based, client-centered approach to therapy, blending goal-focused strategies with strengths-based work to help clients navigate change. He emphasizes collaboration, creating an environment where people can explore their experiences, experiment with new ways of coping, and uncover practical solutions that fit their lives.
Background and approach
Philip views therapy as a process that takes effort and patience, and he encourages clients to engage their creativity as part of personal growth.
With an LCSW and 11 years of clinical experience, Philip has treated a wide range of concerns including addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem issues, anger, career questions, and matters related to LGBT identity.
His background includes both outpatient and residential settings and recent work as a substance abuse counselor, which informs his understanding of co-occurring issues and recovery dynamics. Philip also draws on earlier experience in television news, where storytelling and empathy shaped his approach to listening and supporting others as they work toward meaningful change.
Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online
Philip integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based practices in online work. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness approaches teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation strategies that support coping with cravings, mood fluctuations, and emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Philip partners with each client to explore which techniques feel most useful, adjusting methods over time based on progress, goals, and personal preferences so therapy remains aligned with what the client needs.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from varied locations, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals.
