About Anthony
Anthony Kleinhans is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of clinical experience. He practices in Arizona and brings steady, practical support to people facing emotional and life challenges. Anthony uses straightforward conversation and clear strategies so parents and families can find manageable next steps.
He often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction concerns. He also addresses relationship problems, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties tied to life changes and career stress.
Background and approach
Anthony works with topics like parenting, family strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD as part of his broader practice. Anthony blends several therapeutic styles rather than relying on a single method. He leans on client-centered work to build trust, uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and draws on mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness.
Narrative and psychodynamic ideas help people make sense of long-running patterns when that seems useful. His approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term tools, and deeper understanding when needed.
Anthony aims to create a calm space for people to talk through what matters and try new ways of coping. He brings experience with additional areas such as aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and fatherhood topics. Anthony holds the LPC and LPCC credentials and works with English-speaking clients in Arizona and beyond.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening-first relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports growth at the client's pace. This approach works well for anyone who needs a steady, understanding space to talk through family and life concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to shift them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems where concrete strategies can make a difference.
Anthony sees finding the right approach as a team effort. He will discuss options, try techniques that match a client's goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasize over time.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. These formats can make it easier to attend consistently, allow work during busy weeks, and let people connect from home or while traveling. The variety of options supports flexibility so therapy can fit into family life and other responsibilities.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
