About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. He brings 27 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and parenting or family concerns. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support and clear next steps rather than clinical jargon.
Parents and caregivers often look to him for help with family dynamics and parenting challenges. He has worked in hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools.
Background and approach
That variety shaped a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s situation. He draws on several evidence-based methods to match what a client needs in the moment. Sessions are conversational and interactive.
He keeps a relaxed, respectful tone and aims for real change through skills and insight. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns of thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotion regulation skills. Anthony also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to strengthen relationships and improve communication within families.
He pays attention to the practical parts of daily life, such as caregiver stress, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and parenting strategies. He works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar issues, intimacy and commitment problems, and the effects of domestic violence. His goal is to help people move toward greater stability and clearer choices in family life.
How Anthony’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and working at the client’s own pace; it helps people feel heard and understood when they’re dealing with stress, family tensions, or parenting worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at habits of thinking and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication; it is often used when anger, mood dysregulation, or relationship conflict are central concerns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and adjust methods as work progresses. That decision is based on the client’s goals, preferences, and everyday demands, not a single fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving duties. Remote formats also let the therapist use worksheets, skill practice, and real-time check-ins to support progress from wherever the client is located.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
