About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 27 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood problems, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and relationship and family concerns.
He has practiced in hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools. That range of settings means he is used to practical, day-to-day problems that affect how people manage family life and parenting. He also has experience with addiction, grief, anger, intimacy difficulties, and bipolar-related concerns.
Anthony uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. He draws on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally focused work, and existential perspectives. Sessions are interactive and conversational. He aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping skills that fit their life.
When the topic is family or parenting, he focuses on what an individual can do differently at home. He helps parents and adults talk through communication problems, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, and codependency questions. He also addresses complex emotional topics like guilt, shame, forgiveness, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. People can expect clear discussion of goals and steps to try between meetings. Anthony accepts international clients and holds his LCSW credential in Virginia.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Anthony uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s perspective and priorities. That approach means sessions start with the adult’s concerns and preferences, and the conversation guides what comes next. It helps with relationship worries, parenting stress, and deciding which changes to try.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides hands-on strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday family pressures. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving emotion regulation and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anthony will talk through goals, try methods that might fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to identify practical steps a person can take at home between sessions.
