How Anthony Combines Therapeutic Approaches Online
Anthony often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed steps toward what matters, even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal goals.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete behavior changes. CBT provides tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through small experiments and skill-building.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they set priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what produces results.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work and fit therapy into a busy life.
