Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Anthony frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to support recovery from addictions. He also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and coping strategies to manage emotional reactivity and improve self-regulation. Motivational Interviewing is another approach Anthony uses to strengthen personal motivation for change and to explore ambivalence around issues like substance use or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Anthony works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with Anthony is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Ohio or from other locations, and they support ongoing work between sessions when needed.
