About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with ten years of experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, and addictions and helps people who want concrete changes in how they think and act. He works with adults to address stress, grief, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and related life challenges.
He uses practical, goal-focused methods to identify what already works in a person’s life and build on those moments. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. Anthony draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered approaches to shape short-term plans and skills practice.
His approach highlights consistency and step-by-step effort. He talks through daily habits, coping strategies, and small behavior changes that add up over time. He encourages clients to try specific exercises between sessions and then review what helped.
Anthony also addresses addictions and process behaviors by looking for exceptions in a person’s past where things went differently. He uses motivational techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to support impulse control and emotion regulation.
People who choose him can expect straightforward goal setting, regular skill practice, and check-ins on progress. He asks for commitment to the work and helps prioritize actions that produce measurable returns. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems active and to try specific behavior changes that interrupt those patterns. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values. Client-centered work is used to listen closely to a person's priorities and let their goals guide the pace and focus of sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, set short-term goals, and suggest approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is tracked and skills are tried in daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills in their usual environments. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to pick what fits your routine.
