About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia with 27 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood dysregulation, and ADHD. He also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, addiction, intimacy, and low self-esteem.
His approach is relaxed and interactive. He listens first, then works with each person to set simple, concrete goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems alive.
Background and approach
Anthony blends several evidence-informed approaches rather than using a single method. He commonly uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques for thoughts and behavior, and dialectical skills for emotion regulation. He also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas when they fit the person's situation.
Across his career he has worked in hospitals, residential settings, schools, and home-based programs. That variety shaped a practical style that emphasizes real-world strategies and steady progress. He aims to treat people with dignity, respect, and compassion while helping them move toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.
People who prefer straightforward, problem-focused work often find his manner calming and direct. He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to each person's experience. Online sessions let the therapist follow your lead and reflect what matters most to you, which is helpful for concerns like grief, relationship stress, and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions clients learn practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. When offered online, DBT can deliver concrete skill-building and coaching tools that people practice between meetings to reduce reactivity and increase coping options.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily routines, then suggest methods to try. Sessions can change over time as needs shift, and the therapist checks in to adjust plans collaboratively.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions suit quieter, lower-bandwidth check-ins. Live chat or text messaging make quick check-ins and brief coaching easier during a busy week. These options aim to make therapy more flexible so people can fit sessions into their lives.
