About Us
Philip Daniels, PhD, LMHC, NCC, BC-TMH
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Counselor Educator. I earned my PhD in Counseling and Counselor Education from the University of Florida. My pronouns are he/him.
My professional interests include working with individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, career counseling, and marriage and family therapy. I also have expertise in working with topics and situations such as caregivers of individuals with neurocognitive disorders, death and dying, end-of-life issues, grief and variations e.g. anticipatory & complicated, transcultural counselor competencies, cross-cultural leadership, first generation college students, and play therapy.
My approach to therapy is grounded in a person-centered wellness model integrated with a holistic perspective of the client’s mental and physical health. I take an integrative theoretical approach to therapy to best serve clients. Using a combination of individual and systems perspectives, I encourage individuals to grow, change, and develop based on their strengths and unique qualities. I collaborate with clients to develop goals and intended outcomes by using choice theory and reality therapy in conjunction with brief solution focused therapy. I believe individuals are the experts in their own lives. With a strength-based position I strive to empower individuals to heal, grow, and achieve their highest potential by raising personal awareness, taking control of what can be controlled, and coping with the uncontrollable.
Thank you!
