01About Philip
Dr. Philip Grimes helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
He works from Pennsylvania and carries a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential. Over 17 years he has worked in clinical settings and continued study in behavioral therapies. He uses skills drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR alongside motivational strategies to address motivation and substance concerns.
Background and approach
He adapts methods to the person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions tend to emphasize skill-building, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. He helps people break big problems into small, manageable steps.
For relationship strain he uses techniques informed by the Gottman Method to improve how people talk and solve problems together. Dr. Grimes describes his work as collaborative.
He listens first, then outlines options and goals together with each person. Treatment plans are adjusted over time to match progress and changing needs. Many people come for help with panic, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, or midlife transitions.
He also supports those coping with divorce, men’s issues, young adult challenges, and sexual addiction by focusing on concrete strategies for coping and recovery.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so people can take meaningful steps even when emotions feel strong. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, puts attention on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for intense moods, panic, and relationship conflicts. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact; it can help people coping with trauma-related distress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest one or more methods to try. This is done together, and plans are adjusted as progress is seen or needs change. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when a shorter exchange fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules and to continue care when travel or relocation occurs.05Questions people ask
