About Anthony
Anthony Skerritt is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. He works with adults and young adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, mood shifts, relationship strain, and anger. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and begin making changes that fit their life.
Anthony uses straightforward, practical methods that focus on real problems and real steps. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is part of his approach when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. He also uses solution-focused and client-centered ideas to build on strengths and personal goals. Sessions often include clear, short-term goals and homework that fits into a busy schedule.
Mindfulness strategies are woven in to help with stress, anger, and impulse control. Anthony holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy College and is licensed as an LMHC in New York. He brings four years of clinical experience to his practice and adapts his style to each client’s pace and needs.
Work typically begins by identifying the most pressing concerns and setting a few practical goals. Clients can expect direct feedback, compassionate listening, and tools they can practice between sessions to manage mood, anger, and everyday stressors.

Using practical therapies online for emotion and behavior
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It’s useful for stress, anger, and making lifestyle changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. It gives concrete skills people can practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore mixed feelings about change and find personal reasons to move forward, often used when someone feels stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing is more comfortable. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still using ACT, CBT, and motivational techniques in a practical way.
