About Anthony
Anthony Skerritt is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who works with adults and young adults facing a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and difficulties with self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
He draws on several evidence-informed techniques to help clients develop practical strategies and build on their strengths. Trained with a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy College, Anthony blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered listening, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
He emphasizes a collaborative, first-person stance that prioritizes empathy, active listening, and concrete skill-building so clients can identify unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Anthony’s practice combines solution-focused thinking with longer-term skill development, offering tools for emotion regulation, relapse prevention, and coping with grief or major life transitions.
He provides care through a mix of formats to fit different schedules and communication preferences, and he approaches treatment with a practical, supportive orientation that aims to empower clients to pursue their goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Anthony integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside a client-centered way of working. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult emotions, which can help people cope with trauma, chronic worries, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony works with clients to explore what resonates, combining elements from different modalities to match each person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than following a single method rigidly.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or when in-person visits are impractical, while allowing therapists to use worksheets, behavioral experiments, mindfulness exercises, and motivational techniques adapted for digital delivery.
