About Anthony

Anthony Kleinhans is a licensed counselor with two decades of experience helping people sort through hard moments. He practices in Arizona as an LPC and LPCC and focuses on real-life problems like anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and ADHD. He uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person.

Sessions often look like practical problem solving mixed with moments to reflect on how past events shape present reactions.

Background and approach

He pays attention to relationships, work stress, life transitions, and how guilt or shame can get in the way of recovery. Anthony also supports people facing chronic health concerns, caregiver stress, and the demands of blending families. He talks through concrete coping skills for managing anger, communication problems, and substance use while also addressing how purpose and values matter in day-to-day life.

His perspective includes Christian counseling for clients who want faith considered alongside therapy. That element is woven into sessions only when clients want it, and it is used to explore forgiveness, meaning, and spiritual resources. People who come to him can expect a calm, direct style and a focus on usable tools.

He aims to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and find clearer direction during transitions. The work is collaborative and paced to each persons needs. Background and approach: With 20 years of practice, Anthony blends several approaches to match different concerns.

He draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the client's priorities, uses cognitive behavioral ideas for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits, and brings narrative and psychodynamic perspectives when exploring patterns rooted in the past. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with emotion regulation and attention. He supports clients through steady, practical steps toward clearer functioning and greater emotional balance.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to each person's concerns and following their priorities in session. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through choices, emotions, and relationship problems.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and managing stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These tools can help with anger, rumination, and staying present during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then adapt methods collaboratively over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or moments when someone prefers writing. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving between in-person appointments.
