Philip Andujar , LCSW

Philip Andujar, LCSW, combines clinical training with a systems-minded perspective to support people across Alaska who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, family concerns, trauma and depression. He approaches each client as a whole person, attending both to individual experience and to the larger relationships and structures that shape daily life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, he holds a professional credential for providing psychotherapy and case management, bringing practical skills and empathy to every session.

Philip blends group and individual work in his practice, including leading DBT groups, and he is active in efforts to expand mental health access in his community. His style balances clear direction with room for flexibility - offering a roadmap for healing while allowing detours when needed. Outside of clinical work he brings the same intentionality to everyday routines, including mindful meal prep, which reflects his emphasis on self-care and sustainable change.

Clients can expect a therapist who meets them where they are, collaborates on realistic goals, and walks alongside them toward the changes they want to make. Philip's combination of clinical skill, systems thinking, and practical focus supports people navigating addiction, attachment and family issues, trauma, and mood concerns.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Philip uses evidence-based methods tailored to each person's needs. He leads dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) groups - a skills-focused approach that teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness techniques to help with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and relationship struggles. He also draws on a family systems perspective that explores how relationships, roles, and patterns within families influence symptoms and decision-making - an approach often helpful for family conflict, attachment concerns, and intergenerational issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Philip partners with clients to identify which techniques and goals fit best. He assesses needs, explains options in plain language, and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences evolve, making treatment a collaborative process between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward meaningful change.
