About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, mood problems, substance struggles, or relationship conflict. He listens without judgment and works at a steady, practical pace so people can make real changes.
He began his career at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute working on therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders. Since then he has led both individual and group work, and has used cognitive, dialectical, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based techniques in practice.
Background and approach
He has worked with people in rural, urban, and island settings and values how culture shapes a person’s life. Anthony has experience with first responders, active duty personnel, and military veterans, and he often helps people recovering after trauma or substance use. He also supports people facing family disruption, codependency, and intense relationship conflict, including situations involving aggression.
His style is person-centered and collaborative. He helps clients set clear goals, weigh choices, and build practical skills to manage strong emotions and difficult situations. Sessions aim to turn hard experiences into opportunities to learn and grow.
Anthony practices in Pennsylvania as an LCSW and offers sessions that accommodate different needs and schedules. He works in plain language and prefers a straightforward, respectful approach to help people regain control and move forward.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel understood and supports them in choosing their own goals and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. It tends to be practical and skill-oriented, which can help with stress, anxiety, and depression.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Anthony will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT exercises one week and mindfulness or client-centered conversation the next, depending on what is needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction that mimics in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or recovery routines while still using the therapeutic tools described above.
