About Antony

Background and approach

He works with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, stress, self-esteem difficulties, and a range of relational problems such as infidelity, communication breakdowns, and codependency. Antony brings seven years of clinical experience to his practice and accepts international clients who seek remote options.

His work blends cognitive behavioral techniques with existential and client-centered sensibilities, aiming to identify practical patterns that keep problems in place while also exploring meaning, values, and personal responsibility. Antony often uses a systemic lens to examine self-worth and boundaries when clients are struggling with recurring conflict or life changes.

He emphasizes collaboration and engages clients in goal-oriented plans tailored to their needs, drawing on tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship repair is needed. Antony holds an LPC and is licensed in Missouri (MO LPC 2026010986) and Texas (TX LPC 82865).

He offers several remote session formats to accommodate differing schedules and preferences, helping clients find approaches that fit their circumstances and goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship-related thinking habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration to help people build self-understanding and agency in facing life changes.

Determining which approach or combination will be most helpful is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time so the plan remains a good fit as work progresses.

Online sessions make these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. Remote formats allow clients to engage in skill practice, values exploration, and relationship work from locations that are convenient, supporting continuity of care and timely access to therapeutic support.
