He has provided both individual and group psychotherapy in rural, urban, and island settings.
Therapeutic approaches in his practice include Narrative therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential ideas.

Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Anthony uses Narrative ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can make it easier to see new options and choices. He also draws on Client-Centered therapy to keep the work focused on each person's priorities and lived experience, allowing the client to guide the pace and topics.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or substance use. Those approaches can be useful for mood, stress, coping with life changes, and managing cravings or impulsive behavior. Choosing the right combination of methods is part of the process; he works collaboratively to find what fits your needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts as you go.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are useful when you need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text can support brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
