About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions, anger, stress, and grief. He also helps people facing career shifts, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and life transitions.
Anthony uses practical, solution-focused methods that look for what already works in a person's life. He pays attention to moments when problems were less dominant and helps people build on those exceptions. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that can reduce wasted energy and increase forward movement.
He draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to teach skills for emotion regulation, manage cravings, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Anthony is direct about effort and consistency. He explains that a single session rarely creates lasting change and that steady practice of new skills matters. He guides clients to refocus their time and attention onto actions that produce measurable benefits.
In sessions he encourages an open mind and willingness to try new ways of responding. The work is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people reduce reactive anger, handle stress better, and regain a sense of control over daily life.
How sessions work
How Anthony blends approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then choose actions aligned with personal values. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete steps to change those patterns. It is useful for reducing reactive responses and managing anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, which can be helpful when anger flares or when someone needs safer ways to respond.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He uses client feedback and practical results to adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to a single technique.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, doing therapy remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their daily environment and bring real-life examples to sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match how someone wants therapy to fit into their schedule.
