About Anthony

Anthony Skerritt is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He offers calm, straightforward support for adults facing worry, low mood, identity questions, and the everyday strain of life changes.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing opens space for honest talk about change and helps strengthen what someone already wants to do. Anthony also draws on solution-focused ideas that highlight strengths and workable next steps. He keeps sessions goal-oriented, breaking larger problems into manageable tasks.

Many clients appreciate having clear exercises and short experiments to practice outside of sessions. He trained at Mercy College and holds a New York LMHC credential. With four years of clinical experience, he combines active listening with practical tools so sessions feel useful and direct.

Anthony works with people managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, relationship stress, substance issues, and parenting challenges. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He encourages people to start with a brief matching questionnaire to find the best appointment time and session format for their needs.

How Anthony’s Approaches Work Online

Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and attention-related struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and choose actions that align with personal values, which can help with motivation and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust as needed. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for more traditional therapy conversations; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are good for brief updates, tracking progress, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite work, school, or family commitments.
