About Phillip
Phillip Jerdon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people move past trauma and its effects. He brings eight years of clinical experience and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, panic, dissociation, or post-traumatic stress.
Background and approach
Phillip aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable for people who feel overwhelmed. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and understood.
That approach centers the person's own goals and pace. He also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address memories and reactions tied to past harm in ways that feel manageable.
In sessions Phillip talks through symptoms and patterns so clients can see what keeps problems going. He helps people learn practical skills for panic attacks, grounding during dissociation, and easing anxiety day to day.
Sessions mix conversation with simple, doable strategies clients can try between meetings. Phillip works as an LMFT in Texas and draws on nearly a decade of experience to guide his approach.
He favors clear explanations and steady pacing so each person can set the speed of progress. His aim is to help clients feel safer in their bodies and clearer about next steps.
If someone wants a plainspoken therapist who focuses on trauma and anxiety, Phillip offers video, phone, live chat, and text options to fit different needs and schedules.
How client-centered and trauma-focused work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's goals. In practice this means sessions start by asking what matters most and shaping each meeting around those priorities. This approach helps people feel understood and in control of pace during online visits.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how traumatic events still affect daily life and teaches ways to lessen those reactions. Online sessions can use guided conversation, grounding techniques, and step-by-step practices to reduce panic, manage dissociation, and settle anxious responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan can change based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client see nonverbal cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text support short check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or other routines while keeping continuity of care.
