About Philip

Philip Moss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with three decades of experience. He aims to make therapy feel straightforward and humane. He talks with people in plain language and focuses on helping them manage emotions, thoughts, and everyday struggles.

His style is calm and companionable so parents can feel heard without pressure. Philip draws on many tools to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, career strain, and relationship tension.

Background and approach

He uses practical techniques like mindfulness and meditation alongside conversational work. He also brings experience addressing issues tied to sexual and spiritual abuse, identity concerns, and isolation. His approach emphasizes acceptance and self-understanding rather than labels.

Philip prefers the phrase emotional and mental challenges and works to reduce stigma while helping clients find clearer ways to cope. He often blends cognitive work with mindful practices and sometimes uses creative elements like art or humor to open new pathways.

Philip has long been an ally to LGBT people and has engaged with community and systemic issues related to racism, bullying, and trauma. He says therapy is a joint process and aims to empower clients to make choices that fit their values. Outside of work he enjoys reading, long walks, time with family, the ocean, and his cat.

He invites people to take a first step and explore what might help them move forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Philip uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's experience and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood so they can make their own choices and changes.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. CBT provides practical exercises and small experiments to reduce unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods match a person's needs and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals and circumstances change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. Video lets people see facial cues, phone can feel more personal for some, and messaging supports short check-ins or written reflection between sessions. The variety makes it easier to continue work consistently around family and daily demands.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
