Therapeutic approaches and online options
Anthony often uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people understand patterns that affect connection and trust. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete alternatives to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaborative process may mean trying a mix of approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work similar to an office meeting. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging offer brief, ongoing contact between sessions and can fit into busy schedules.
