About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of post-master's experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, addictions, relationship conflict, and ADHD. He takes a calm, person-centered approach and works with clients in a straightforward, nonjudgmental way.
Anthony began his clinical work at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute, concentrating on substance dependence and mood disorders. He later developed family-focused skills, supporting people caught in high-conflict relationships and those who use aggression in close relationships.
Background and approach
He has worked in rural, urban, and island settings and has experience with people from different cultural backgrounds. His practice blends individual and group work and draws on several therapeutic styles. He uses cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts, dialectical skills to manage strong emotions, and mindfulness to build calm and focus.
Sessions emphasize practical skills that people can use between meetings. Anthony has worked with active duty personnel and military veterans and has supported people recovering from substance dependence and post-traumatic stress. He also helps those facing family disruption, codependency, and challenges such as anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
His style is collaborative. He helps clients set clear goals, consider choices, and practice new ways of handling problems. The aim is to turn difficult experiences into opportunities for greater coping and purpose.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside a client-centered stance. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with strong mood swings or relationship conflict.He combines these methods with a client-centered outlook that prioritizes each person's goals and choices. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with clients to decide which tools fit their needs, adjust plans over time, and practice skills together during sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain steady progress.
