About Anthony
Anthony Kleinhans is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of experience. He holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Arizona. Anthony focuses on practical help for people facing major life stressors.
He offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship strain. Parenting is listed among his areas of focus, and he helps parents address parenting stress and related family challenges. He also addresses anger, self-esteem, and issues tied to midlife and career transitions.
Background and approach
Anthony integrates faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included. He invites discussion of meaning, purpose, forgiveness, guilt, and shame in ways that fit each person's beliefs. He also provides practical guidance for coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and financial pressures.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and concrete steps. Anthony uses talk-based work that looks at patterns, current thinking, and everyday choices. He helps people build skills to manage mood, improve communication, and handle setbacks.
People who prefer a calm, steady style and practical problem-solving often find his approach helpful. Anthony aims to create a respectful space to test new ways of handling old problems. He wants clients to leave sessions with one or two actions they can try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach can help with self-esteem, grief, and finding direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve focus. It can be useful for managing reactivity, chronic stress, and addictive habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match goals, values, and day-to-day reality. That process is flexible and changes as needs evolve.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people do more in-depth conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, on-the-go contact and quick reflection between sessions. These options increase convenience and help people keep consistent with their plans for change.
