About Antonio
Antonio Wong-Rivadeneyra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 51 years of professional experience. He speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with family and parenting tensions, self-esteem and motivation, life changes, ADHD, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and work-related strain.
He invites people to look at what is getting in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths the person already has and using practical tools to manage disappointments and difficult feelings. He describes therapy as a process of learning to take more control over how life affects you.
When someone feels stuck, he works with them to pinpoint causes and clear the blocks that keep problems repeating. That might mean noticing subtle messages that guide behavior and choosing which of those messages to keep. He emphasizes small, usable skills that people can apply between sessions.
Antonio aims to help people gradually master their strengths so they can direct their own choices. He frames the relationship as a partnership where the person is the expert on their life. His goal is for his work to end when the client has control over what works for them.
He recommends a first practical step of completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and people should confirm current session options before booking.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Antonio describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and strength building. One common approach he uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns and the subtle messages guiding their behavior so they can test different responses and change what no longer serves them. This is useful for relationship worries, self-esteem issues, and recurring life blocks.Another approach centers on skill-building for everyday coping. Sessions teach specific tools to manage stress, anger, sleep disruptions, and moments of low motivation. These techniques are aimed at improving how someone handles setbacks between sessions and at making progress in daily life.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Antonio works collaboratively to choose which approaches to try based on a person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He will help people weigh options and adjust methods as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding video when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
