About Anthony
Anthony Skerritt is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. He works directly with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and changes that feel overwhelming. Anthony writes simply and listens carefully to help people find practical next steps.
He blends straightforward, evidence-based methods to make therapy useful day to day. Sessions focus on what people want to change, realistic goals, and small skills to manage difficult moments.
How Anthony works
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Anthony uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try new reactions. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult emotions without being controlled by them.
Motivational Interviewing is part of his way of helping clients find their own reasons to change. Conversations in sessions are collaborative and respectful. He emphasizes listening, curiosity, and practical tools clients can use between sessions.
Anthony keeps explanations plain and shows how strategies apply to real life situations. He holds a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy College and is licensed as an LMHC in New York. Anthony has four years of clinical experience and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

How Anthony’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and focus on the actions that matter most to them. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing gently helps people explore their reasons for change and build motivation when they feel stuck or ambivalent.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony treats therapy as a team effort and will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try techniques and adapt them based on what fits the client’s life and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time allow. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when a shorter check-in is needed or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, school, or busy family routines.
