Approaches That Guide Online Care

Anthony uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the person's goals and perspectives shape the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients as they explore their values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can support people facing strong emotions or interpersonal challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anthony works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques collaboratively over time so therapy remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Anthony can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from different locations, and choose the format that best matches a client's daily life and communication style.
