    About Hazel

    Hazel Phillip is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of practice in New York. She has worked in multiple settings helping people who face anxiety, depression, substance use and other emotional or social challenges. Hazel aims to create a supportive, collaborative space where people feel heard and understood.

    She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better day to day. Hazel uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people manage stress, lift low mood, and reduce substance-related harm. Sessions tend to center on small changes that add up over time.

    Hazel often helps people address relationship strain, self-esteem issues, and big life transitions. She also works with people facing grief, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and those dealing with anger or bipolar mood concerns. Additional areas she attends to include communication problems, guilt and shame, self-love, and challenges related to HIV and prejudice.

    Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and track progress. Hazel emphasizes collaboration and meets people where they are in readiness to change.

    People who value straightforward conversation and practical tools may find her style helpful. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

  2. How Hazel Uses Motivational Interviewing and CBT Online

    Hazel draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most to them and to explore readiness for change in a nonjudgmental way. This approach is often used when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change and wants to weigh pros and cons out loud.

    She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to try small experiments that test new ways of coping. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, depression, mood swings, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hazel will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals and preferences so the plan feels realistic. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

    The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online care helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing commute time, and keeping appointments that might otherwise be missed. Online sessions can make it easier to check in between life responsibilities and practice skills in day-to-day settings.
