About Anthony
Anthony Leite is an LMHC with ten years of experience who blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with a person-centered stance to help clients build clearer paths forward. He emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and skills-based approaches to identify strengths, address unhelpful patterns, and create realistic plans for change.
Background and approach
Anthony frames work around concrete goals such as managing stress and anxiety, improving relationships, coping with life transitions, and addressing addictions or trauma. He approaches each person without judgment and with flexibility, tailoring interventions to individual circumstances and preferences.
His practice includes support for grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, career issues, compassion fatigue, and LGBTQ issues. Anthony enjoys collaborating with people to clarify who they want to be, pinpoint obstacles, and develop step-by-step strategies that leverage existing strengths.
Clients can expect a supportive environment that balances practical skill-building with compassionate listening and motivational techniques. Based in Hawaii, he brings a solutions-oriented focus while remaining open to creative, individualized methods that fit each client’s goals and lifestyle.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Anthony blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and DBT-informed strategies to support change in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption through clear skill practice. Client-centered work emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore values and priorities while feeling heard. DBT-informed techniques add practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anthony works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. He combines structured skill-building with open-ended exploration so clients can test what works and adjust over time rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for practicing new skills and discussing sensitive topics.
