About Frank

Frank Centonze is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with a compassionate, client-centered outlook.

Background and approach

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work to help people address anxiety, stress, addictions, mood disorders, and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.

With 15 years of clinical experience in Texas, he emphasizes clear tools for managing difficult thoughts and impulses while also exploring relational patterns that shape how people cope. Frank approaches each case by tailoring interventions to the person in front of him, aiming to reduce symptoms while building sustainable skills for everyday life.

He supports clients dealing with depression, bipolar concerns, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles, as well as challenges tied to communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. His practice also attends to complex presentations such as dissociation, co-morbidity, and disruptive mood challenges.

Clients can expect a collaborative stance that balances short-term strategies with deeper work on attachment and meaning. Frank helps individuals create healthier habits, repair relationship patterns, and reconnect with purpose so they can move forward with greater resilience.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online therapy

Frank uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and managing impulses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements that work by encouraging acceptance of difficult internal experiences while clarifying values and guiding committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relational patterns and early attachment experiences are relevant, helping clients recognize interpersonal dynamics and develop more supported ways of relating.

Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist explores a client's needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time, mixing skill-building, experiential work, and relational focus as appropriate. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work aligns with what the client wants to change and how they prefer to proceed.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, family, or mobility constraints, and they allow the therapist to apply CBT, ACT, and attachment-focused interventions across multiple remote formats.
