About Anthony

Anthony Watt is an Ohio-based counselor who focuses on men's wellbeing among a wide range of concerns. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation. He acknowledges the courage it takes to start therapy and frames the first step as something to be proud of.

He works from the view that each person knows their own story best. He looks for strengths that a person already has and uses those as a starting point for change. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels doable in daily life.

Anthony draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work. He tailors sessions to the issues a person brings, whether that is grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting tensions, or career stress. The work combines problem-solving with building skills for regulation and decision-making.

With eight years of experience as an OH LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - he has supported people through midlife transitions, first responder and veteran issues, ADHD struggles, and feelings of isolation. He also addresses concerns like codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Anthony offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, he invites people to take the first step and explore what their goals are so they can map a clear path forward together.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger, relationship strain, and self-regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation, often used for addictions and improving follow-through.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to prioritize. This is a collaborative process and the plan can shift as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help maintain continuity across moves or travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes working with a licensed professional in Ohio possible for people who live elsewhere, though scheduling should account for time zones and availability.
