About Philip
Philip Sayegh is a California psychologist with 16 years of clinical experience. He lists stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes among the concerns he helps people with, including social anxiety and phobia and caregiver stress.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person, identifying small steps they can try, and checking what works. Philip writes plainly and listens for what is getting in the way of daily functioning and relationships.
Philip earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern California in 2013. He completed postdoctoral work at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. That training informs his work with mood issues and stress-related problems.
People who are facing changes such as cognitive decline in a loved one or taking on caregiving duties can bring practical concerns and emotional strain to sessions. Philip addresses both the day-to-day demands and the feelings that come with them. He also works with people coping with grief, isolation, guilt, and low self-worth.
Therapy sessions are collaborative and focused on concrete goals. Philip encourages clients to notice small changes and to build on strengths they already have. To begin, users follow the site steps to view online therapy options and schedule a first appointment.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Philip uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and anxiety concerns. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments, which can help reduce avoidance and ease social fears. Another approach emphasizes behavioral changes and small, repeated practice to build confidence and reduce stress responses over time.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Philip will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, personal style, and the specific challenges they bring. That collaborative process means trying things, checking results, and adjusting plans together.
