About Frank
Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers therapy on practical strategies and honest conversation. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, and relationship strain. Sessions emphasize clear steps and steady support so people can start making changes they notice day to day.
Frank draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based techniques to help people face painful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
He also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Therapy is conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent practicing tools between meetings. He brings about 15 years of experience to common concerns such as grief, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles.
Frank also works with issues that overlap mental health and life roles, including caregiver stress, fatherhood questions, first responder strain, and substance use challenges. Clients who come with patterns of avoidance, codependency, or trouble with communication will find practical skills and reflective work. Frank helps people identify what they want to change, then breaks those goals into manageable steps.
Progress is measured in small, achievable shifts rather than vague promises. Frank prefers a straightforward, respectful style. He aims to create a steady space where people can try new ways of coping, practice different responses, and notice what works for them.
The focus is on rebuilding routine, improving relationships, and restoring a sense of purpose.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Frank commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in session. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult feelings, choose what matters to them, and commit to small actions that match their values.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That process may include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps you most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coping reminders, or ongoing support between longer meetings.
