Philip Clary, LPC

Philip Clary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 11 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across inpatient and outpatient settings. His training includes a bachelor’s degree from Mercer University with majors in philosophy and German, a year of study at Phillips Universität Marburg in Germany, and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Fort Valley State University. Philip’s background in philosophy informs a therapeutic stance that helps people examine meaning, direction, and purpose in their lives.

Philip works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, career issues, and coping with major life changes. He also focuses on experiences of emptiness, forgiveness, life purpose, and midlife transitions. His approach draws on existential therapy, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused techniques, trauma-focused methods, hypnotherapy, and elements of cognitive-behavioral ideas when appropriate. He uses these perspectives to help clients understand and manage symptoms, process loss and shame, and explore meaningful ways to connect with others.

When it fits the client’s interests, Philip integrates references from popular culture such as video games, anime and manga, comics, and superhero stories as relational and narrative resources that can deepen therapeutic exploration. Therapy is offered in English and through multiple remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Philip Clary is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients.
