About Anthony
Anthony Kleinhans is a licensed counselor with two decades of practice based in Arizona, offering experienced guidance for people facing emotional and life transitions.
Background and approach
He integrates a range of therapeutic perspectives to help clients manage issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to self-esteem and anger. His credentials include LPC and LPCC, reflecting licensure in clinical counseling.
His style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's story, combining practical interventions with attention to underlying patterns and meaning. He draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to address negative thinking and coping skills, along with client-centered and narrative elements that center the client's perspective and personal history.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas may be woven into work where exploring emotions, past influences, or present awareness supports change. Anthony also attends to concerns that arise with caregiving, chronic health issues, blended family dynamics, and substance-related struggles, and he brings particular attention to matters of life purpose, forgiveness, and guilt.
He offers a supportive professional partnership aimed at building resilience, clearer communication, and steady progress toward clients' goals.
Applying practical approaches to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving techniques. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that supports a person's own capacity for growth and decision making, which can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and acceptance practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for stress, chronic pain, and coping with difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review how techniques feel in practice and adjust the focus over time to support steady progress.
Online therapy with him offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, balance therapy with work and family commitments, and receive support from wherever a client is located.
