About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 27 years of clinical experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, emotional trauma and abuse, and ADHD. He also addresses stress, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, addictions, and anger.
He has worked in hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools. That variety informs how he approaches different problems and life situations. He aims for practical work that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change habits that get in the way of daily life.
His approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of his practice and is used alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered work, and elements of existential and psychotherapeutic thinking. Sessions are interactive and focused on skills and problem-solving.
Anthony keeps sessions straightforward. He listens to the immediate problem, introduces concrete exercises, and reviews progress in follow-up sessions. He also helps with parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems that affect daily routines.
People who work with him can expect step-by-step ideas to change thinking patterns and coping habits. He supports work on commitment issues, codependency, intimacy-related concerns, and emotional regulation. He also addresses complex topics like trauma, domestic violence, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in practical, paced ways.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Anthony uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT focuses on clear steps - noticing a thought, testing whether it helps, and practicing different actions. This is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.He also integrates Client-Centered principles that emphasize listening and working at the client’s pace. That approach supports people who need space to name what matters and set realistic goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used for emotion regulation and building coping skills for intense feelings and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will review goals and preferences together and adjust methods as the work progresses. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which exercises and skills fit the situation.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The main practical benefits are easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit short check-ins into a busy day. Some formats also allow for audio-only sessions when video would be difficult, or shorter focused meetings for skill practice between longer sessions.
