About Frank

Frank Centonze is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, and relationship struggles including codependency. He also addresses grief, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Frank focuses on how people relate to others and themselves. He talks through communication problems, attachment issues, and feelings of abandonment. He helps clients notice patterns that lead them to put others first or to stay in draining relationships.

He uses practical tools from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions include discussing real situations, testing new ways of responding, and practicing skills for calmer reactions. Work often centers on boundary setting, managing urges around alcohol or drugs, and handling strong emotions.

Frank also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, first responder pressures, and family of origin issues. He helps people sort through emptiness, dissociation, and co-occurring problems so daily life becomes more manageable. The approach is straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change.

To begin, a prospective client follows the site process to match and schedule a first session. Frank conducts therapy in English and works with adults in Texas.

How sessions work

How Frank’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still choose actions that match their values. It is useful for living with anxiety, shame, or patterns of people-pleasing without getting stuck on symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles and gives step-by-step tools to change them. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems like impulsive substance use.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches make the most sense based on goals, preferences, and life context. That choice can shift as sessions progress and new priorities appear.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. For people managing caregiving, work demands, or midlife transitions, remote sessions can help keep therapy consistent with daily life. Frank will discuss practical arrangements and how to structure sessions to support the goals you bring to therapy.
