About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia with 27 years of experience. He focuses on men’s wellbeing along with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

He has worked in hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools, so he is familiar with many practical situations people live through. His style is relaxed, inviting, and interactive. Sessions are conversational and geared toward real-life changes rather than jargon.
Anthony blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses Client-Centered ideas to listen and build trust, Cognitive Behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior methods to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Existential perspectives when the situation calls for them.
Work in the room often means learning new skills, trying small behavior changes, and talking through relationship patterns and past hurts. He emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion while helping people set realistic goals. Anthony invites clients to take gradual steps toward better daily functioning and clearer relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and understood, which can make it easier to talk about stress, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with mood dysregulation, anger, or relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit each person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill practice, emotional processing, or a blend of methods.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills between meetings and bring real-life examples into sessions. If you want to explore how these approaches can work for you in an online setting, check the session options and scheduling details before you book.
