About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. He aims to help parents and individuals handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, and parenting challenges in a straightforward way. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
He began his career at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute working on therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders. Over time he added family-focused work, helping people navigate high-conflict relationships and addressing aggressive behavior.
Background and approach
His background includes individual and group therapy methods that draw on cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based ideas. Anthony has practiced in rural, urban, and island communities and has worked with people from different cultural backgrounds. He also has experience with active duty service members and military veterans.
That range of settings informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s situation. In sessions he uses a person-centered, non-judgmental style. He works collaboratively to set goals, review choices, and build practical skills.
Expect a focus on clear steps you can try between meetings to reduce stress and improve relationships. Typical concerns he addresses include mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and abuse, recovery from substance dependence, codependency and family disruption, anger, and parenting matters. His work emphasizes personal responsibility and finding workable solutions that fit each person’s life.

How Anthony blends proven approaches for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening closely and tailoring sessions to each person's priorities. It focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration to help people set goals and use their own strengths to solve problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect; it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video calls let you work face to face when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into real life.
