About Tony
Tony McKee is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with two decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
He also works with caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, issues around forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Tony centers his work on the belief that clients are the experts of their own stories and that existing strengths can be used to navigate difficult moments.
His approach blends practical, goal-oriented techniques with collaborative exploration. He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational interviewing and narrative and solution-focused methods to help clients reframe unhelpful patterns, clarify priorities, and take concrete steps toward change.
New clients are welcomed with recognition that reaching out takes courage, and Tony aims to create a supportive environment where progress is shaped by each person’s values and pace.
Approaches for Change Delivered Online
CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to support coping during life transitions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own reasons for change through guided conversation, often useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tony works with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan over time based on what proves most helpful in session and between meetings.
Online therapy with Tony can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located, and they allow therapy to fit into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
