About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 27 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood dysregulation, ADHD, and relationship and family concerns.
He sees parenting strain, blended family problems, fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment struggles. He also helps with grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality patterns, codependency, and feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame.
His approach mixes practical, evidence-based tools. He uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. He also brings in emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when those fit the situation.
Sessions are described as relaxed, inviting, and interactive. Expect a conversational style that looks at current problems and concrete skills you can try between meetings. The therapist aims to adapt methods rather than follow a single plan.

BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the individual. It aims to build a collaborative relationship that helps people identify goals and practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses structured exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients choose a setup that works for them, such as phone or video if those are supported. Discuss practical details during the initial matching and scheduling step so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday routines.
