About Anthony
Anthony Skerritt is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress and supports those facing depression, grief, addiction, and changes in life. He works with adults and young adults who want practical tools and steady support.
Anthony uses therapies that emphasize real-world skills and clear steps. He often draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. He combines that with motivational interviewing to help people find the drive to make changes and solution-focused work to set short-term goals.
Background and approach
In sessions he aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard. He values active listening and works collaboratively to pick strategies that fit each person’s needs. Sessions involve discussing current struggles, trying small experiments, and reviewing what helps.
Anthony earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy College and holds the New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - LMHC. He brings four years of clinical experience to his practice and tailors methods to the situation rather than following a single plan. He offers several remote session formats so people can choose what fits their life.
If someone prefers short check-ins or more in-depth conversation, Anthony adapts the pace and tools. He aims to make progress feel manageable and focused on daily life changes.
Therapeutic approaches for remote care
Anthony often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and experiments that can reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful thinking in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he draws on; it emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match a person's values, which can help with stress, worry, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anthony treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts techniques to fit each person’s goals, comfort level, and pace. He will review what’s helping and change course when something isn’t working rather than sticking to one set plan.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can match therapy to their routine. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text sessions suit quick check-ins or brief support. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to fit care around work, school, or other commitments.
