About Hazel
Hazel Phillip is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, substance misuse and other life challenges, including anger and relationship strains. Hazel focuses on practical steps people can use to manage strong emotions and make steadier choices day to day.
Hazel has worked in a range of clinical settings across her career. That background means she is used to helping people balance immediate problems with longer-term goals. She uses clear techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice patterns and make different choices.
In sessions she breaks issues into manageable pieces. Clients learn ways to spot thinking traps, test unhelpful assumptions, and try small behavior changes that shift feelings over time. Conversation includes setting realistic goals and checking progress together.
Hazel also brings solution-focused methods when people need quick, practical moves to reduce stress or handle a crisis. She helps people identify strengths and past successes they can reuse. This approach is often paired with motivational work when change feels unclear or stalled.
People who come for help with anger will find an emphasis on skills and clear steps. Hazel aims for brief, focused conversations that lead to noticeable changes in how someone reacts and recovers after tense moments.
How sessions work
How Hazel uses evidence-based approaches online
Hazel relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward, practical ways. CBT helps people notice automatic thoughts, test those thoughts, and try different behaviors to change emotional reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.Motivational Interviewing focuses on the client’s readiness to change. It uses brief, conversational techniques to strengthen motivation and resolve ambivalence about substance use or other patterns someone wants to change. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when a client wants concrete steps and short-term progress, highlighting past successes and simple actions that can be repeated.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Hazel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan together so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that avoid travel time, or telephone meetings when video isn't possible. Licensed professionals often find these arrangements useful for steady progress without major scheduling disruption.
