About Anthony

Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of post-masters experience based in Pennsylvania. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addiction recovery, and relationship struggles. His approach is calm and collaborative, aimed at practical steps rather than labels.

He learned early on in a university-affiliated psychiatric research setting, working on therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders. That foundation led him to family-focused work, helping people in highly conflicted relationships and those who have used aggression or violence.

Background and approach

He has provided both individual and group therapy and uses a mix of cognitive, dialectical, psychodynamic, and meditative approaches. Anthony has worked in rural, urban, and island settings and has experience with people from varied cultural backgrounds. He has also worked with active duty military personnel and veterans, and supports people recovering after substance dependence or trauma.

Many clients come for help with parenting stress, family-of-origin issues, codependency, or feeling isolated. His style is person-centered and non-judgmental. He emphasizes personal choice and accountability while working together to set clear goals and build the skills needed to meet them.

Sessions aim to turn hard experiences into opportunities for growth. Existential ideas inform his work by inviting people to face life’s big questions and make meaning from difficult events. He combines that perspective with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients act differently and feel steadier in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Anthony combines Existential Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to help people work through hard questions and reach practical changes. Existential Therapy invites clients to consider meaning, choice, and responsibility when facing life transitions or feelings of emptiness. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's own experience and values, creating space to explore concerns at the person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anthony discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods to match what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps identify whether deeper reflection, skills training, or a mix of both will best support progress.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls let people use visual cues for richer conversation, phone sessions offer a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, homework, or times when typing feels easier than talking. These formats provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on concrete steps and meaning-making.
