About Antony

Antony Ashby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, intimacy issues, and the stress that comes with big life changes. He also helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and self-esteem challenges.

Antony favors plain conversation and practical steps. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and identify small changes that make daily life easier. He uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs rather than a single one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

In practice he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take values-based action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build different habits. He also employs Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when attachment and closeness are central concerns.

Antony brings seven years of clinical experience and holds Missouri and Texas licensure as an LPC - Missouri LPC number MO LPC 2026010986 and Texas LPC number TX LPC 82865. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy typically includes talk, skills practice, and steps to try between meetings.

The focus may shift from communication skills to coping with past hurts, depending on what the person or couple needs. Antony works with clear, straightforward goals and checks progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for people who want clearer direction in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. The therapist and client work together to test new ways of thinking and practice different reactions, which often helps with stress, mood, and anxiety.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional patterns in close relationships. It helps partners or individuals see how emotions shape interaction and build new ways of connecting when attachment or intimacy problems are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different life circumstances. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice conversations in real time, while phone, live chat, and text messaging give options for shorter check-ins or more frequent support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and try new skills between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
