About Anthony
Anthony Hodges helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. He introduces a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Anthony is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with seven years of experience.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the problems people bring. Conversations center on what is happening now and what small changes could make daily life easier.
How Anthony works
Anthony writes treatment plans that match each person's goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. That means listening carefully, naming patterns that get in the way, and trying new strategies together.
The aim is to build skills for managing strong emotions and improving confidence. Anthony adapts the pace to each person. Some people prefer concrete exercises to practice between sessions.
Others benefit from talking through decisions and finding clearer next steps. He supports clients through transitions and helps them find ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Anthony acknowledges that courage.
He works with people to set realistic goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on steady improvement and practical tools people can use outside of sessions.

Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Anthony uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach emphasizes managing strong emotions with step-by-step tools to reduce reactivity and handle anger more effectively. This method helps people pause, notice triggers, and try alternative responses.Another technique centers on building confidence and improving mood through small, achievable goals and behavioral change. It helps people increase activities that lift mood and practice new habits that support self-esteem and motivation.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and tailor a plan to your needs and preferences. Together you decide whether to focus on emotion regulation, behavioral change, or a mix of methods and then adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging and live chat offer ongoing support between sessions and fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or travel while still working toward clear goals.
