Background and approach
His practice includes help for people facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring concerns such as bipolar disorder.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Sessions are about listening first and then trying out small changes that fit real life. People can expect an objective, calm presence and help sorting complicated decisions. Anthony aims to give clear feedback and a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all script.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Anthony commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps separate problems from identity and can be useful for issues like grief, shame, or recurring relationship patterns. He also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals to guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments that bring quick feedback.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony discusses goals, preferences, and what feels workable for each person. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming one fixed route.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging work for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options let people fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other daily routines while keeping therapeutic focus and continuity.
