About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of post-master's experience. He helps people dealing with mood and anxiety problems, substance dependence recovery, relationship conflict, trauma, parenting strains, and codependency concerns.
He began work at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute focusing on treatments for substance dependence and mood disorders. That early work led to practice with family interventions and with people using aggression or violence in relationships. Over the years he has provided both individual and group therapy in a range of settings, including rural, urban, and island communities.
Anthony uses several approaches in his work. He leans on client-centered methods that place the person's goals first. He also draws from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques to address thoughts, behavior patterns, and emotional regulation. Mindfulness and relaxation practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce stress reactions.
He has experience with active duty personnel and military veterans and brings an understanding of cultural influences on people’s lives. He describes his style as collaborative and non-judgmental. Sessions focus on identifying practical goals, considering choices that move someone toward those goals, and building skills to manage the outcomes of those choices.
People who struggle with getting stuck in caregiving roles, trouble saying no, or chronic people-pleasing often find the practical focus helpful. Anthony frames difficulties as opportunities to learn specific strategies for clearer boundaries, healthier communication, and steadier moods.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Anthony integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in straightforward ways. Client-centered methods focus on your own goals and choices and help shape the work around what matters to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behavior patterns keep problems going and uses concrete exercises to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony will work with a person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The plan can shift as progress is made or as new challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example they can allow a shorter check-in during a work break, reduce travel time, or let someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals can use different ways of meeting; discuss which format suits your schedule and comfort when you arrange the first appointment.
