About Anthony
Anthony Kleinhans is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Arizona with 20 years of experience. He works with adults on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Sessions reflect practical help rather than abstract talk.
He often supports people facing life transitions such as midlife changes, workplace pressure, and shifting family roles. He also brings focused attention to issues that can build up over time - chronic illness, caregiver stress, isolation, and struggles with purpose or shame. The biography notes a particular orientation toward men and older adults.
Anthony draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and narrative elements are part of his work when they fit the client's needs.
Faith and spirituality are part of his practice for those who want that, including themes of forgiveness and moral concerns. He aims to connect those themes to practical steps for coping and communication. He can also address parenting, fatherhood issues, blended family stress, and relational communication problems.
Over his career he has worked with people managing addiction, grief, chronic pain, and overlapping stresses that affect mood and relationships. He emphasizes straightforward conversation, goal setting, and skills people can use between sessions. To begin, the site directs people to the online intake and scheduling pathway.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Anthony uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's goals and immediate concerns. That approach emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around what the client wants to change, useful for relationship strain, anger, or career stress.He also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and to try practical alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing anger triggers. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to help with staying present and reducing reactivity in heated moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. This is a shared process that can shift as needs change.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the session formats offered before booking. The profile does not list specific formats, so check the booking pathway for the current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be used alongside work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
