About Tony

Tony McKee is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and struggles around guilt, forgiveness, and self-worth.

Tony centers sessions on what the person brings. He treats each person as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and practical, focused on small steps that make daily life easier. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Narrative and solution-focused ideas help reframe problems and set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Tony aims to help people leave sessions with at least one small, doable action.

He encourages gradual progress rather than quick fixes, and he checks in about what is working and what needs to change. People who reach out can expect a calm, steady presence and practical strategies for coping. Tony understands that beginning therapy takes courage and treats that first step as important.

He works with English-speaking clients and also accepts international clients.

Online support

How Tony’s Approaches Work Online

Tony commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in online sessions. CBT helps people notice patterns in their thinking and try different reactions, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change and build momentum when they feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tony will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on results and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the person see and hear the therapist for more interpersonal work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions, and quick strategy reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum between appointments.
