About Philip
Philip Clancey is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) with 40 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Philip also notes experience with bipolar concerns and coping with life changes.
Philip speaks plainly in session and focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving. He listens for patterns that keep someone putting others first or losing their own needs. When codependency shows up, he helps people notice how they give away time, energy, or decision-making and what they might want to change.
His approach is hands-on rather than abstract. Philip builds a straightforward plan with goals you both agree on. Sessions often include looking at communication habits, boundary choices, and steps to manage stress and mood swings.
With decades of practice, he draws on wide clinical experience with families and caregiving stress, aging and fatherhood topics, chronic illness and pain, and relationship breakdowns such as divorce and separation. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns that affect current relationships.
Philip offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Philip describes using practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on communication, behavior, and problem-solving. One common technique looks at interaction patterns and teaches specific communication skills to reduce conflict and clarify needs. This helps with relationship stress, codependency tendencies, and family disagreements.Another technique targets coping skills for anxiety, mood swings, and stress. It breaks problems into manageable steps, teaches ways to notice triggers, and builds short exercises to reduce overwhelm between sessions. That approach is useful for depression, bipolar mood management, and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach happens together. Philip will review your concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. He will suggest ways to try an approach and adjust plans based on your feedback and progress.
