My name is Philip Clary, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I have over 9 years of counseling experience working with individuals, couples, and families in inpatient and outpatient settings. I earned a bachelor’s degree from Mercer University with majors in philosophy and German. I studied for 1 year at Phillips Universität in Marburg, Germany and received a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University. My ongoing studies in and love of philosophy inform my approach to helping others examine their lives as they seek meaning, direction, and purpose. I am interested in helping you understand, cope with, manage, and reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety and adapt to major changes in life. I work patiently and compassionately with those seeking to understand and come to terms with feelings of shame, loss and grief, meaninglessness, isolation, and ultimately our limited lifespan. I hope to help others, young and old, discover or create their own meaning and purpose in life. I want to help people answer for themselves, “How do I want to live the rest of my life?” and to develop ways to meaningfully connect with others. Please be aware that I am currently only providing text therapy on BetterHelp. My approach to therapy is informed by several useful perspectives. I employ elements of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), mindfulness-based therapy, existential psychotherapy, and narrative therapy. When appropriate, I incorporate elements of popular culture, such as video games, anime and manga, comics, and super hero literature and movies. These are great resources for story lines that many can relate to in deeper and more meaningful ways than traditional talk therapy. I look forward to working with you to set and meet your goals for your best life. Philip

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Florida with years of experience working as a therapist. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, identify patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxious attachment, low self-worth, or past trauma, my goal is to help clients build resilience and feel more secure within themselves and their relationships. Clients leave me feeling empowered, understood, with self-awareness. Through a structured yet compassionate approach, I help clients: Develop emotional regulation skills to manage distress and mood swings; understand and reshape relationship patterns to foster healthier connections; strengthen self-worth and boundary-setting to reduce people-pleasing tendencies; learn mindfulness and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety. My counseling style is warm and interactive. By focusing on self-exploration and practical strategies, I guide clients toward greater emotional stability, inner peace, and confidence in their decision-making. My goal is to empower them to feel in control of their emotions, cultivate secure relationships, and break free from patterns that no longer serves. My practice hours are Tuesday and Thursday; 10:00 am - 6 pm; Fridays 10:00 am- 4pm. Please remember that Betterhelp (or sister site!) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away!” I look forward to working with you!
