About Anthony
Anthony Leite is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. He focuses on practical, straightforward work that helps people find clearer paths through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and other life hurdles. He talks with clients in a non-judgmental, client-centered way to identify strengths and next steps.
Anthony helps people figure out what they want and how to get there. He draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to build concrete plans.
Background and approach
Sessions often include setting small, realistic goals and practicing new skills between meetings. His background includes a decade in mental health, during which he used several evidence-based approaches. That experience informs how he tailors strategies to each person’s situation.
He pays attention to practical barriers and helps people adapt tools to daily life. People can expect a flexible style that mixes listening with problem-solving. Anthony uses motivational interviewing to support change when clients feel stuck.
He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Anthony practices from Hawaii and offers work that can suit different schedules and needs. He welcomes conversations about stress, relationships, parenting, grief, addiction, LGBT concerns, ADHD, and related issues.
His aim is to help people move toward a more balanced, manageable life.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Anthony integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding and respect, giving people space to set goals and move at their own pace.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when needed to help manage strong emotions and improve coping. DBT offers straightforward skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication, which can be helpful for people facing intense reactions or relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try strategies and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps clients shape a plan that fits their life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to work around schedules, reduce travel time, and keep therapy consistent during busy periods or life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to support skills practice, goal setting, and ongoing check-ins.
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.
