About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 25 years of post-master's experience. He focuses on mood and anxiety problems, substance dependence recovery, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as parenting, anger, and ADHD.
He began his work at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute studying therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders. After that period he concentrated on family interventions, working with highly conflicted couples and people who used aggression in relationships. His practice has included both individual and group therapy formats and a range of psychotherapy styles.
Anthony uses person-centered methods while drawing on cognitive, dialectical, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-informed techniques. In sessions he works collaboratively to set goals, consider choices, and build practical skills. He emphasizes personal responsibility and clear, everyday steps clients can take to move forward.
He has worked in rural, urban, and island communities and with people from different cultural backgrounds. That experience informs his attention to how culture and life context shape behavior and choices. He has also worked with active duty personnel and military veterans.
Current practice focus includes recovery from substance dependence, post-traumatic stress and trauma, mood disorders, family disruption and codependency, and highly conflicted relationships with or without intimate partner violence. Anthony aims to help people identify workable strategies and develop the skills to carry them out.
BHow sessions work
How Anthony’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can clarify goals and choices. Online sessions using this approach often emphasize pacing, clear goal-setting, and practical next steps that a person can try between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting helpful and unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. In an online setting that may include structured exercises, homework tracking, and short skills practice during sessions to address anxiety, depression, or addiction recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered online, DBT work can focus on concrete skills training, emotion regulation strategies, and planned problem-solving for relationship conflict or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will help evaluate which combination of methods fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for brief check-ins, and reduce travel time. They can also support continuation of care when someone moves or travels, while allowing sessions to focus on skill practice and goal-oriented work.
