About Antony
Antony Ashby is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people sort through relationship and parenting concerns. He works with individuals and couples who are facing communication breakdowns, intimacy problems, or the stress of major life changes. Antony writes plainly and focuses on real steps people can use right away.
He favors an approach that looks at values and meaning alongside practical skills. That often means identifying what matters most, then trying small, doable changes that match those values.
Background and approach
He combines that with client-centered listening to make space for each person's experience. Antony has seven years of counseling experience and practices in Texas. He uses tools from cognitively focused methods when thoughts and behaviors get stuck.
He also pulls from emotionally focused work to help partners reconnect around important feelings. In sessions he helps people set boundaries, improve communication, and rebuild trust after breaches. He pays attention to issues like fatherhood, codependency, infidelity, and attachment concerns.
He also supports people working on self-esteem, grief, anger, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Antony offers a practical, down-to-earth style. He works with clients to name the smallest first steps.
Then he measures progress and adjusts the plan as needed. This makes therapy feel manageable for parents and partners under pressure.

Approach-driven support available online
Antony blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address relationship and parenting struggles. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values, which helps when clients feel stuck or unsure about priorities. Client-centered work centers on listening and creating a respectful space so people feel heard and understood, useful for raw emotions and difficult conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical tools to change unhelpful cycles, good for anxiety, stress, and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Antony treats that as a collaborative process and will help clients try methods that match their goals and preferences. He adjusts the plan based on what is working and what feels manageable for each person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets couples and parents use visual cues for conversations, phone can be a lower-tech option with less bandwidth, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
