About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. He works directly with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

He begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to identify clear goals and build skills to reach them. Therapy is collaborative - the client’s values and choices guide the work.
How Anthony works
Anthony’s background includes early training at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute, where he focused on substance dependence and mood disorders. He later added family-focused work and helped people involved in aggressive or violent relationship patterns. He has run both individual and group therapy settings.
His clinical experience spans psychodynamic ideas, cognitive approaches, dialectical methods, and relaxation and meditative practices to increase mindfulness. He has worked in rural, urban, and island communities and has experience with cultural differences that shape people’s lives. Current practice centers on mood and anxiety problems, post-traumatic stress, recovery after substance dependence, and issues stemming from family disruption and codependency.
He also addresses highly conflicted relationships, including those with intimate partner violence. Anthony holds a Pennsylvania LCSW and works with clients in English. People choose him for steady guidance, a straightforward style, and help building skills for daily life.
He emphasizes accountability, personal choice, and practical tools so people can manage challenges and move toward more satisfying lives.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports choices that fit a person’s values and life. It is useful for people who want a respectful, cooperative process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skill teaching with acceptance. It includes strategies for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing harmful behaviors. This approach is often used for intense mood swings, anger, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose or blend methods so the plan fits the person’s needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when possible. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging support ongoing contact and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing lives.
