About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. He brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical work that helps people manage anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. He uses Narrative Therapy alongside other practical methods to help people tell their stories differently.
Sessions aim to find moments when life felt more manageable and build on those exceptions. The goal is clearer direction, not quick fixes.
Background and approach
Anthony draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches to tailor work to each person. He helps clients notice the thoughts and habits that get in the way, then practices new responses together. Therapy emphasizes small, usable steps and steady progress over time.
People often come for help with stress, burnout, grief, parenting strain, or life transitions. He also supports concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, and substance-related problems, and he can assist with caregiving stress and end-of-life related issues. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
Anthony asks for commitment to the process and helps clients redirect energy toward achievable goals. If someone is ready to try a different story about themselves, he works alongside them to make that change.

Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Anthony blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for exceptions to problem patterns to create new narrative options. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings, clarify values, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behaviors.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Sessions often combine storytelling, value-driven tasks, and small behavioral steps so the person can see what works for them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching between meetings, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work consistent.
