About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Pennsylvania-licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. He helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship conflict, and mood concerns. He takes a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on practical changes that make day-to-day life easier.
His early work was at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute where he concentrated on substance dependence and mood disorders. Since then he has provided both individual and group therapy and has worked with people who use aggression or violence in relationships.
Background and approach
He also has experience with family disruption, codependency, and post-acute recovery from substance use. Anthony draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive and dialectical techniques. He teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing patterns that feed conflict.
He also incorporates mindfulness and relaxation practices to help people calm their bodies and focus their thinking. He has practiced in rural, urban, and island communities and has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. He also has experience with active duty personnel and military veterans, and brings that awareness into sessions when it is relevant.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Anthony will help identify clear goals, weigh options, and build skills to reach them. The work emphasizes personal choice and accountability while staying grounded in everyday routines and responsibilities.

Approach and online care for emotion and behavior
Anthony blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and building a collaborative relationship so people feel understood and able to make choices that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Anthony will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and new needs appear.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let therapists and clients work face-to-face across distances and keep visual cues in the session. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, review skill practice, or fit support into a busy day. These options make starting and maintaining therapy more flexible and accessible for many people.
