How Tony works
Tony uses straightforward language and listens closely to what each person brings to the room. Tony blends several approaches to match each person's needs. He draws on client-centered work to follow the person's lead and build trust.
He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to try small, testable changes. Mindfulness practices are available to help manage stress and regain focus. Narrative techniques can help people reframe painful stories about themselves.
Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Tony has three years of clinical experience and sees people in the District of Columbia.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It helps people feel understood and safe enough to try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease stress and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tony will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods to try first. He adapts techniques over time based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Online sessions can fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when a shorter interaction suits a work break or tight schedule. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling other responsibilities.
