About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways to manage strong feelings and difficult interactions.
He has practiced in hospitals, residential settings, home programs, and schools. That range means he has seen how problems show up in everyday life and in different settings. He draws on many evidence-informed methods rather than using a single fixed model.
His approach is relaxed and interactive. Sessions often include problem-focused conversations, skill practice, and step-by-step planning. He uses techniques that help people notice patterns, try new responses, and reduce getting stuck in the same cycles.
Anthony blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior strategies, along with emotionally-focused and existential ideas. That mix is used to address mood dysregulation, trauma responses, relationship strain, and anger-related patterns.
Expect direct, plain talk about what’s happening and specific tools to try between sessions. Anthony also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and caregiver stress. He is able to work with international clients in English and tailors each plan to the person’s day-to-day life.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. It involves open listening and joint problem selection, which helps when someone wants to tackle anger, relationship strain, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. For anger this often looks like tracking triggers, rehearsing responses, and testing small behavioral shifts between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can reduce explosive moments and help people stay calmer during conflict.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust what is used based on what helps most. That shared decision-making is part of early sessions.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow focused check-ins that match a work break or evening routine. Phone sessions can be useful when a lower bandwidth option is needed, while video sessions make it easier to practice communication and see nonverbal cues.
