About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of post-master's experience. He works with people facing anger, mood and anxiety problems, addictions, relationship conflict, and the strain of parenting. He also helps those dealing with trauma, codependency, and career or life changes.
He began his career at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute focused on substance dependence and mood disorders. After that he moved into family therapy work, helping highly conflicted couples and people who use aggression in relationships. He has led both individual and group psychotherapy, using psychodynamic, cognitive, dialectical, and meditative approaches to increase mindfulness.
Anthony has practiced in rural, urban, and island communities and has experience with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. He has worked with active duty personnel and military veterans and has treated post-traumatic stress and post-acute recovery from substance dependence. His work often involves family disruption, fatherhood issues, and intimate partner conflict.
His style is person-centered and collaborative. Sessions focus on naming practical goals, exploring choices, and building skills that help the client manage results of those choices. He emphasizes individual responsibility while supporting people as they try new ways of relating and coping.
Typical work involves talk-based therapy, skills practice, and mindfulness exercises. He draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical techniques when they fit the problem, and uses existential ideas to help people find meaning amid difficult events.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy places the client t the center of the work and focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and helping people make their own choices. It suits people who want a collaborative process for sorting through anger, relationships, or life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and behavior changes to reduce anger triggers and improve problem-solving in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when strong reactions or repeated patterns cause conflict at work or at home.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will choose methods that fit your situation and strengths. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, cognitive work, or reflective exploration.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or a video meeting that saves travel time. Phone or video sessions may suit different needs such as less bandwidth or avoiding being on camera, so clarify the practical choices when you schedule.
