About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a decade of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors.
Background and approach
He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment strategies to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck and to develop practical steps toward change. Russo emphasizes identifying past moments of success as a foundation for rebuilding confidence and motivation.
He frames therapy as a collaborative, goal-focused process that asks clients to reallocate energy toward outcomes that matter to them. Rather than promising quick fixes, he stresses the importance of consistent work over time and supports clients in shifting from unproductive habits to more purposeful actions.
His practice addresses a broad set of concerns including grief, trauma, caregiver stress, process addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and life-purpose questions. Based in Pennsylvania, Russo offers an approach that balances solution-focused planning with mindfulness and client-centered attention.
He invites people who are ready to try a different direction to bring openness and a willingness to engage in steady, goal-directed work toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Anthony Russo employs cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance and commitment methods to help clients make concrete changes in thinking and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings and committing to values-based action to move toward meaningful goals. He also uses client-centered principles to keep the work aligned with each person’s priorities and strengths, offering space for clients to guide the pace and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and he views it as a collaborative exploration. He will work with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Online therapy with him includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency and access support from different locations, and they allow clients to choose the mode of interaction that feels most helpful for homework, skill practice, or check-ins.
