About Anthony
Anthony Nathal is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LISW, LCSW) practicing in Ohio with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He speaks English and accepts international clients.
He frames sessions around practical skills and straightforward conversation. He helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and then tries small changes to see what helps. Sessions are goal-focused and action-oriented rather than long on theory.
Anthony uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop alternative responses. He also draws on mindfulness practices to build attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing shapes conversations about change when motivation feels stuck.
People often come for help with addiction, codependency, attachment issues, or post-traumatic stress. He also supports those working on life purpose, sexuality, social anxiety, and multicultural concerns. He talks through practical steps for coping and relapse prevention when relevant.
His approach emphasizes clear steps, regular check-ins on progress, and adapting methods if they are not helping. He asks about what a typical week looks like and suggests concrete experiments between sessions. If a technique isn't working, he adjusts the plan together with the person.
CBT, mindfulness, and online sessions
Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can use between sessions to change habits and reactions.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of present-moment experience and reduce automatic reactivity. Mindfulness exercises often involve short attention practices and grounding techniques useful for stress and cravings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods if needed.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the offered session options before booking so you know how sessions are conducted. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. The practical aim is to make therapy a manageable part of daily life while using CBT and mindfulness exercises between meetings.
