About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of post-master's experience offering thoughtful, collaborative care. He focuses on mood and anxiety concerns, addiction recovery, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, and issues such as ADHD, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
His background includes early training at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute where he worked on therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders, followed by extensive work in family therapy and interventions for highly conflicted couples. Anthony draws on a mix of individual and group psychotherapy techniques, including cognitive approaches, dialectical methods, psychodynamic ideas, and relaxation and mindfulness practices.
He has worked in rural, urban, and island settings and has experience assisting people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including active duty personnel and military veterans. His current practice emphasizes post-acute recovery from substance dependence, post-traumatic stress, family disruption and codependency, and relationships marked by conflict and, in some cases, intimate partner violence.
He brings a person-centered, non-judgmental stance to therapy, working collaboratively to set goals, explore choices, and build practical skills that support lasting change. Clients can expect a focus on personal responsibility and the development of strategies rooted in real-life strengths and experiences.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access
Anthony integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online work by helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own capacity to find solutions, especially helpful when someone needs a non-judgmental space to explore life challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are employed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for managing intense emotions and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist works with clients to evaluate their needs, goals, and preferences and may blend techniques from CBT, client-centered work, and DBT to create a personalized plan. This shared process helps clarify what methods feel most useful and practical for everyday life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives, allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent support and skill-building regardless of location.
