About Philip

Philip Moss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, and related issues. Sessions are presented in plain language and focus on practical ways to cope and move forward.

Philip draws on client-centered conversation to understand what matters to each person. He combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thoughts and behaviors that deepen distress. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness practices to teach skills for emotional regulation and present-moment noticing.

In practice he uses straightforward tools such as guided breathing, intentional attention exercises, and conversational reflection. He sometimes brings creative elements like art or simple meditative practices when they fit a person’s needs. The work is collaborative - he helps people identify small, doable steps toward feeling steadier at home and in relationships.

Philip has a long history of working with issues often tied to identity and social stress, including LGBT concerns, isolation, and the effects of bullying and systemic racism. He also supports people dealing with addiction, career stress, and compassion fatigue, and he attends to fatherhood and family-of-origin topics.

Outside of work he reads, walks, spends time with family, and enjoys the ocean and his cat. To begin, the usual next step is a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session through the platform flow.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Philip often draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions start with what the person brings and focus on clear, empathic listening to identify current concerns. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through what’s happening at home and figure out priorities.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to track thoughts and actions that keep problems going. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used at times for emotion regulation and coping during high distress. These skills include grounding techniques, distress tolerance strategies, and methods for improving communication under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will collaborate with a client to match methods to goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit visits into a busy life - for example, a short check-in can be scheduled during a lunch break, or a phone call may be chosen when video would be difficult. These practical options can help maintain continuity of care while juggling parenting and household responsibilities.
