About Frank
Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship struggles. He aims to help people manage painful emotions, reduce overwhelming reactions, and find clearer direction. Frank writes with plain language and keeps sessions focused on real-life change.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations and tools they can use between sessions. He draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attachment-focused ideas to address stuck patterns.
How Frank works
The therapist also uses skills from dialectical methods and a client-centered stance to support emotion regulation and self-understanding. Frank has 15 years of clinical experience working with issues like depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. He also helps people facing abandonment wounds, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance use challenges.
His background includes supporting people through family of origin struggles, divorce and separation, and first responder related stress. Sessions are aimed at building practical habits and clearer communication. He helps clients develop coping skills, restructure unhelpful thoughts, and practice more effective emotional responses.
The tone is collaborative and direct, with attention to what the person wants to change. Therapy with Frank is offered from Texas and is conducted in English. He provides several online session formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework, commonly used for anxiety, mood problems, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of connection and how they affect current relationships, helping people improve communication and emotional safety in close bonds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. Treatment can blend techniques so the plan matches what the client needs and prefers.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat suits quick exchanges during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
