About Anthony

Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. He has 27 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting challenges. He also supports people coping with addictions, grief, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related struggles.

His approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions tend to be relaxed and interactive. He listens first, then works with each person to find practical steps that fit their life and goals.

Background and approach

Anthony combines several ways of working rather than relying on one method. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered ideas, and also draws on existential themes when questions about meaning and purpose come up. The result is a flexible plan that matches what the person needs in the moment.

Clients can expect concrete skills as well as space to talk about deeper feelings. He often helps people practice new responses to stress, improve communication, and manage strong emotions. He also supports parents facing blended family issues, fathers with role-related concerns, and caregivers dealing with burnout.

Anthony has worked in hospitals, residential settings, schools, and home-based care over his career. That range informs a down-to-earth style aimed at real change. He encourages people to set goals and take steady steps toward them.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Existential therapy helps people face questions about meaning, purpose and choice, often useful when life changes or emptiness feel overwhelming. It focuses on clarifying values and making deliberate choices. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will start by listening to your priorities, then suggest one or a blend of approaches based on your goals and preferences. Together you can try strategies, see what helps, and adjust the plan as you go.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is good for in-depth conversations and learning new skills. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coping skills between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
