Phillip Hawkins, LCSW

Phillip Hawkins, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas, has 20 years of experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, parenting, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and grief. He describes his approach as client-centered and focuses on listening to each person's concerns before deciding on a path forward.

His practice includes work with process addictions and sexual compulsive behaviors. He also helps people recovering from highly controlling religious backgrounds and church-related trauma. Sessions begin with the client's priorities and move at a measured pace.

Phillip uses several therapeutic methods when helpful. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior ideas are used for emotional regulation and coping skills. He also integrates client-centered listening and relational approaches when discussing intimate or relationship topics.

Conversations are direct and practical. He aims to identify small, achievable steps that address daily stress and longer-term goals. Communication skills and clearer boundaries are common themes in his work.

He works from Texas and conducts sessions in English. People interested in beginning can expect a collaborative initial meeting to set priorities and plan next steps. To start, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
