About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or parenting strain. He works with adults facing mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, anger, and intimacy-related struggles. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, and challenges tied to fatherhood or family roles.
He has provided counseling across hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools. That range gave him practice with different life situations and ways people cope.
Background and approach
He meets clients where they are and keeps sessions relaxed and interactive. Anthony uses straightforward, practical techniques. He draws on client-centered conversation to understand each person’s priorities.
He pairs that with cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotional regulation. He also brings emotion-focused and existential ideas when people need help with connection, meaning, or painful life transitions. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings and on building skills that fit daily life.
Anthony emphasizes respect and compassion in his work. He aims to help people feel heard and to support gradual change. If someone is ready to work on mood, parenting pressures, or relationship patterns, he can help map a practical path forward.
How Anthony’s approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and priorities. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and shaping goals around those concerns, which is useful for relationship and parenting strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It’s very practical and often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions for anxiety, depression, or ADHD-related difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those tools can help with mood swings, anger, and impulse challenges.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try approaches that fit. Plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief updates, reminders, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit regular work on mental health into everyday schedules.
