More about me

Licensing: LPC-MHSP Years in Practice: 4 State: Tennessee

Hi, I am a counselor that comes from a background in schools. I enjoy all kinds of counseling but work currently in addiction counseling. I am an older counselor that still connects with younger people. I enjoy this work and have experience in several modalities and have approaches that are typically client centered. I serve each client as an individual and seek first to understand, then to apply what I see, as you direct. I am first a listener and then my training in several effective therapy styles such as Cognitive Behavioral, and Family Systems apply to you as your needs direct. I am a trained EMDR therapist and enjoy the quick progress that this approach secures in most clients. I am well versed in brain science and direct my approach to healing the reason that brought on the present dysfunctional behavior or feeling that you want to eliminate.

Thank you for reading this and I hope we can work together for the solution that you want to experience.

You are the most important person in the room, and I am happy to work to be a part of the puzzle piece that you have been searching for, for so long.

Blessings,

Philip

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

And his experience in dealing with addiction , give him a unique insight into my life as well. An amazing resource who is always there for you.

I love him so much he met me in a hard point in my life I have grown so much through his help

Therapy with Philip has been very successful for me so far. I feel his professionalism and listening skills are superior to the therapists I have worked with. His method of being supportive has helped me make great progress through a job change, a divorce, and the loss of my father. I would recommend Philip to anyone looking for an excellent skillful therapist.

He is great at listening. He offers great content and good advice/recommendations. I am glad that I have a wiser therapist to talk through things.

It was almost as if I was talking to a close friend. Philip always made sure I shared what I needed to share and was very understanding and patient.

Good counselor

Phillip has been awesome. He helped us tremendously in a very short period of time.

Philip makes me feel heard, safe, and encouraged. He is a great listener, he is sensitive to my feelings, and he prays with me, which is very important to me. God connects people in perfect timing.

Philip is the best therapist I’ve ever had. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients/patients and he makes not feel alone. Reading his messages ALWAYS brightens my day. He’s someone who will make you believe in yourself and want to love yourself. I’m so happy I met him and that he’s with me on this journal of healing. Thank you so much Philip.

Incredible

Philip has been available to help listen and signal me when there is concern during the time of my divorce in a supportive way. I feel he is professional and an excellent therapist.

Phillip is a very good listener and offers relevant feedback.

Great therapist. I’m so glad to have his support

Before starting therapy with Philip, I was pretty nervous seeing how I'd never spoken to anyone other than close friends or family about my personal life. Because Philip is such a kind person, I opened up a lot more than I thought I would in our first session. I appreciate your help Philip and look forward to our future meetings. Thank you

Philip is amazing. He listens, encourages, and genuinely seems to care.

Currently I am going through a divorce, and my schedule and connectivity have been fluctuating in unexpected ways, so it is great to be able to connect with Philip whenever I am able because our sessions are insightful and helpful in many different ways. I am appreciative of Philip's expertise and experience.

Phil has been great. Been with him for a while now. Not only is he a good therapist, he has become my friend

Philip is a gift, this is my first time doing therapy and would not trade it for the world. The growth and closure he’s supported have been priceless. Thank you.

Philip is clearly kind, compassionate, empathetic and he truly understands my issues. He contributes and offers gracious insight and guidance that helps me better understand myself. He has my gratitude and my thanks.

Philip is extremely good at working with all different situations and discerning how to support me as I move forward. I feel confident in his ability to help me acquire skills to cope with what has been a life changing year.

Phillip listens intently and responds with helpful suggestions. He probes me to find my own answers.

Philip has changed my life. He is a consistent source of hope, encouragement, and practical advice. He is one of the best men I’ve ever met, and I don’t have words to express the impact his advice has had on my progress. Run, don’t walk to work with Philip!

Phillip sees me. I appreciate that. He listens and shares, it feels like a conversation and after I always feel lighter. I’m excited about the journey and have joy working with him because I’m feeling better than I have in a long time.

Philip is WONDERFUL. He is such an amazing listener, he is so talented & gifted, and he is so compassionate, caring and personal. I COULD NOT have chosen a better therapist myself.

Excellent therapist. Trustworthy and reliable.

Philip has been great. At times i don't even know where to start and Philip would suggest something that would hit the spot and exactly what I needed to talk about. He has given me great set to tools to handle my issues. And is always available to help

I love my therapist, I just wish their were other paying options such as using insurances

Philip is amazing!

Phillip is great. I have really enjoyed the sessions so far and have received a lot of great advice.

Phil has been great! He responds to my messages and our video calls are wonderful. He listens and then hears what I'm really trying to say in such a kind and understanding way. The worksheets he's recommended for me have been spot on to what I need to work on. I am forever thankful for BetterHelp and Phil.

I am currently experiencing great changes in my life with some of life's greatest stresses. Meetings with Philip have helped me navigate the new situation with mindfulness, calm functionality, and a feeling of peace. I look forward to working with Philip as I go through this time of transition and I have full confidence in his skill and ability to help me address the new changes in my life. I feel more capable of dealing with my personal details in a mature and appropriate way because we work together on strategies and behaviors that help me to be strong.

Phillip listens intently and responds with applicable ways to perceive my issues, as well as offers ways to manage my emotional health.

Philip has been available for me while making big decisions in my life. I appreciate his patients while I ramble not making any sense whatsoever.

Philip has helped me so much over the past few months and really listens to me then makes thoughtful recommendations or shares resources/experiences to help me through my situation. He has also taught me many techniques to practice mindfulness and meditation to relieve my anxiety. I would highly recommend him to anyone who’s ready to receive help!

Phil is the best

Has been a HUGE help

Great!

He has been beyond amazing and extremely helpful for my anxiety.

Philip Nicholas is consistent, patient, and thoughtful. I look forward to meeting with him each time I make an appointment with him because I know we will make progress and that he has my best self in mind.

Philip is a genuinely kind person whose main interest is to help people. He listens without judgment and gives sound advice . He always has such insightful suggestions when it comes to learning to parent adult children. This has been helpful with my current situation. Philip has been a tremendous help in assisting me to get out of feeling stuck in a low place. My depression and anxiety are lessened and I attribute this to FINALLY being able to get sound therapy with such easy access. He always answers and responds in a timely manner when I feel the need to vent during the week. This has been extremely beneficial to me. I am so glad I found Better Help and connected with Philip.

Philip is easy to talk to. He's a good listener and helps direct the conversation in a helpful way. He's encouraging, respectful, and relates well. I appreciate his candidness and guidance.

Philip is a nice, caring therapist who brings levity to every situation. My time with him has been great.

Philip has been great thus far. I am looking forward to working with him in the future.

Phil has been nothing but helpful to me. One thing I have really come to appreciate is how he feels like my friend rather than my counselor, but can also feel like a good counselor when I need him to be. I can just sit and talk about nothing and have a conversation when really that's all I need, and sometimes I can say I need a bit more help and he is good for that too. I have another therapist I see who is more to the book, and I can confidently say I prefer Phils style much more.

Philip listens intently and provides helpful feedback relative to my current concerns. He has a very pleasant demeanor and good sense of humor.

He’s a great counselor and a great friend too. I’m thankful for him.

I feel heard, understood and respected. My issues don't feel so weighty anymore and I can see light at the end of the tunnel with the help of Philip

Phillip helps me gain insight into myself, and helps me set goals related to self care. He is compassionate and patient. I highly recommend him.

I have really enjoying using Better Help. I especially love knowing my therapist is only a message away regardless of where I'm at or what I'm doing. Phillip has been attentive and helpful from day one. My sessions are always centered around what I want to work on that week and he keeps me focused on my goals. This experience has been very helpful for me and I look forward to my progress with Phillip and Better Help by my side.

He is a wonderful counselor. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Philip really listens to me and offers great solutions for problems - he is a joy to have on my side. If you get a chance to work with him, please do, because you won’t regret it.

Philip is warm, authoritative, kind, patient, and non-judgmental. I feel lucky to have been paired with him.

Only have had three sessions so far, but he seems to be a nice guy that wants to help and I feel like he's been helpful thus far

Very helpful, easy to talk to. Seems very genuine and seems to truly care about helping me with my issues.

Talking with Philip is like talking to a friend. He always has great insight into what we are discussing and offers various ways to deal with my situation. I always feel encouraged after our conversations. I would highly recommend him.

Philip was always professional and offered great suggestions to my concerns. He listened attentively and provided unbiased feedback.

Philip cares deeply about his clients. He wishes to see nothing but their growth. In his words he is "just a stepping stone" for us to use to live better lived, to improve ourselves. I appreciate him he set a goal for me that I was a bit hesitant to do. I just completed it and am grateful that he set the goal for me.

Phipil is down to Earth and easy to speak with with solid, real feedback given.

My last session with Philip Nicholas was very beneficial.

Mr. Nicholas has been exceedingly helpful in assisting me in being more introspective and helping me process my thoughts into actions

Philip listens and is easy to talk to. He is knowledgeable and makes me feel like I have a new friend.
