About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 27 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family problems, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and self-esteem.
His practice also attends to related areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and several personality and behavioral concerns. Clark adopts a flexible, client-centered approach and combines multiple evidence-based methods to meet each person where they are.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused and existential perspectives, shaping sessions to the individual rather than following a single formula. His manner is described as relaxed, inviting, and interactive, aiming to help clients build practical skills and deeper self-understanding.
Throughout his career he has worked in hospital, residential, home-based, and school settings, bringing a broad practical background to clinical work. Prospective clients who want supportive, respectful care and a collaborative partnership in pursuing life changes can follow the intake steps to begin working with him.
Applying Evidence-Based Approaches to Online Therapy
Anthony Clark integrates several practical therapeutic approaches when working remotely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values and goals at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help with mood dysregulation and intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. He treats the selection of methods as a collaborative process, tailoring interventions to a clients needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path upfront. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life circumstances while allowing for practical skill-building and reflective conversations that fit into a clients daily routine.
