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, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and relationship or parenting struggles.

He has worked in hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools. That range means he is comfortable with different day-to-day challenges and life stages.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps people figure out which steps might help them feel steadier and more capable. Anthony blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses client-centered conversations to focus on what matters most to the person.
He often brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking and DBT skills for emotional regulation. Sessions are interactive and task-focused when that helps, and reflective when deeper understanding is needed. He also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas to explore values, meaning, and close relationships.
The goal is to build skills that can be used between sessions. Anthony emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion in his work. He supports people as they set goals and try different strategies.
If someone wants practical, experienced guidance for ADHD, mood concerns, or family stress, he offers steady support and straightforward tools to try.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person says matters most. It aims to create a respectful space where goals come from the client and the therapist follows their lead, which helps with motivation and practical problem solving.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and build better habits, useful for anxiety, depression, and the attention challenges of ADHD. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood regulation and relationship stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy lets people connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, homework prompts, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines while keeping the focus on practical progress and real-world tools.
