About Antonio

Antonio Wong-Rivadeneyra helps people untangle the everyday struggles that get in the way of living with more ease. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and he speaks English and Spanish. He works with common concerns like family and parenting stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, grief, and trouble sleeping.

Antonio aims to help people feel more in control of their lives again. He emphasizes the client as the expert on their own life.

Background and approach

In sessions he listens for strengths you might not notice and shows ways to use them. He often helps people identify the small habits and messages that steer their choices so they can accept the ones that serve them and let go of the rest. When someone feels stuck, he helps them look at what might be causing that feeling.

That can mean mapping out disappointments, changing how choices are made, or learning practical tools to manage stress, anger, or symptoms of ADHD. The work focuses on gradual changes that build confidence over time. Antonio draws on five decades of professional experience to offer straightforward support.

He encourages steady practice of new skills so gains last beyond sessions. His approach centers on helping people reclaim a sense of agency and move toward more satisfying daily life. Clients who value clear guidance and a calm, practical style may find his way of working useful.

He closes the work when clients have learned to manage what works for them and keep building on those gains.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Antonio uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and strength building. One common approach emphasizes identifying personal strengths and habits to build confidence and manage stress; it helps with low self-esteem, anger, and coping during life changes. Another approach focuses on mapping out patterns that keep someone stuck and then testing small changes; this method can help with relationship issues, grief, and symptoms of ADHD.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques to try first, based on their goals and preferences. Progress is reviewed along the way and adjustments are made so the plan fits the client's life and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work for quick reflections, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines while keeping the focus on practical change and steady skill building.
