About Anthony
Anthony Skerritt is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He works with adults and young adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, addiction, and other life changes. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through immediate problems and set simple, practical goals.
Anthony uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. He listens, asks questions to help people see what’s getting in the way, and teaches tools that can be practiced between meetings.
Motivational interviewing is part of his work when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Anthony trained at Mercy College, where he earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. He holds a New York LMHC credential and has four years of clinical experience working with mood, attention, and relationship-related concerns.
Many people come for help with parenting stress, grief, anger, or coping after a major change. In those appointments the focus is on usable strategies for daily life and clearer next steps. He adapts methods to match each person’s goals and pace.
Therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Anthony encourages straightforward conversations about what someone needs and what will help them move forward.

Practical approaches for online parenting and life struggles
Anthony often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems because it focuses on clear steps and skills people can practice between sessions.He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT can be helpful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by difficult feelings. Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses to explore ambivalence and boost motivation for change in a gentle, collaborative way.
Finding the best fit is part of the work together. Anthony will discuss approaches, listen to goals, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the person’s circumstances and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and practicing skills, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and different household situations.
