About Anthony

Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. He has 27 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and grief. He also supports people dealing with relationship and family struggles, parenting strain, intimacy issues, and attention-related concerns like ADHD.

He favors a calm, inviting style in sessions. Conversations are interactive and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings. He listens for what matters most and then suggests approaches that match each person's situation and goals.

Background and approach

Anthony blends several well-known approaches rather than using a single method. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings in close connections, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and actions, and client-centered ideas that put the person’s experience first. He also draws on dialectical skills and existential ideas when they fit the work.

His background includes work in hospitals, residential settings, schools, and home-based care. That range informs how he tailors plans for different life stages and stresses. He aims to help people reduce symptoms and build clearer ways to handle conflict, parenting demands, grief, or major life changes.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Anthony helps people set small, achievable steps and checks in on progress. He explains approaches plainly and adapts them as needs change.

Online support

Emotion and skills work that fits your life online

Anthony uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and make sense of strong feelings that affect relationships and connection. EFT is useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when patterns of distance and hurt repeat between people. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of his approach, which focuses on listening closely and shaping the work around each person's needs and priorities. It helps people feel heard and decide what they want to change. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors; CBT works well for anxiety, mood shifts, and managing stress.

Choosing the right approach is something he does together with each person. He will talk about what you hope to get from therapy and try methods that match those goals. If an approach does not feel helpful, he adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation when more interaction is useful. Phone calls can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a break. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give more flexibility for scheduling and for how much time you want to spend in each contact.
