Online support
How Anthony’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and understand their own goals, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can be a strong fit when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with mood swings or intense interpersonal conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to choose or combine methods based on the person’s goals and preferences. The plan can shift as needs change, and clients are involved in deciding what to try next.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short coaching, and when a flexible, on-the-go option fits someone’s schedule.
These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical skills.
