About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and related struggles. He uses straightforward, goal-oriented work to help clients find what already helps them feel better and build on those strengths. He prefers short, practical steps rather than long lists of theory.
Sessions focus on identifying moments when life felt more manageable and expanding those exceptions. Anthony encourages people to try new ways of directing their energy toward clear goals instead of habits that drain them.
Background and approach
His background includes a decade of counseling work in Pennsylvania. Over ten years he has supported people facing grief, trauma, stress, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to caregiving, aging, or autism spectrum traits. He also helps with career questions and finding purpose.
Anthony draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, client-centered listening, and mindfulness exercises. These methods are used to build practical skills for emotion regulation, motivation, and decision making. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort that takes time and steady effort.
Sessions are aimed at reducing wasted energy, increasing focus on meaningful goals, and helping people notice and repeat what works. He asks clients to come ready to try things and pay attention to small changes.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and when motivation feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what works in real life. Clients and the therapist work together to find a mix of techniques that feel practical and helpful.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health needs while accessing licensed professionals and therapists.
