About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. He focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of life challenges like stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship conflict, and parenting strain. He keeps a direct, nonjudgmental style and works collaboratively to set clear goals and practical steps.
He began his career at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute, learning approaches for substance dependence and mood disorders. Later work emphasized family interventions and helping people who use aggression in relationships change those patterns. He has delivered both individual and group therapy across rural, urban, and island communities.
Anthony draws from client-centered methods that put the person's own goals first. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotional skills. Mindfulness and existential ideas appear in his work, helping people find meaning and calmer focus in difficult moments.
He has experience with active duty personnel and veterans, and with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Typical concerns he addresses include mood and anxiety problems, post-traumatic stress, recovery from substance dependence, codependency, and highly conflicted relationships with or without intimate partner violence.
In sessions he emphasizes choice and accountability. He helps people identify the next practical steps, practice new skills, and notice small changes that add up. His work aims to turn the problems people bring into opportunities for more satisfying daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work puts the person's goals first and emphasizes a respectful, collaborative conversation. Online sessions allow the therapist and client to set those goals together and check progress in regular, focused meetings.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in teletherapy involves identifying patterns of thinking and trying small experiments to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors through structured exercises and homework between sessions.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Those skills can be practiced in sessions and rehearsed during daily life to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that fit a busy day. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity when life or location changes, while still focusing on concrete skills and steps that move a person forward.
