About Anthony

Anthony Mastroianni is a Pennsylvania-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of post-master’s experience who helps people navigating mood, anxiety, and substance-related challenges.

Background and approach

He draws on long training in therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders, and has developed a practice that attends to relationship conflict, family disruption, codependency, and trauma-related difficulties, including post-traumatic stress and recovery after substance use. Anthony also lists ADHD among his areas of focus.

His work blends individual and group approaches shaped by client-centered values, cognitive strategies, dialectical techniques, and mindfulness-based relaxation practices. He has experience with family therapy and interventions for couples with high conflict, including situations involving aggression or intimate partner violence, and has worked with active duty personnel and military veterans.

Having lived and worked in rural, urban, and island communities, he brings attention to cultural context when exploring life challenges and choices. Anthony emphasizes a collaborative, non-judgmental style that supports clients in identifying goals, weighing options, and building practical skills.

He frames difficulties as part of life’s fabric and partners with clients to turn those struggles into opportunities for growth and more satisfying daily functioning.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Skill Building



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, respectful relationship where the client’s goals and choices steer the process. This approach emphasizes empathy, personal agency, and finding solutions that fit the client’s values and life circumstances. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills for coping with anxiety, depression, and stress; it is practical and goal-oriented and often includes exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing strong emotions and patterns of conflict.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to assess needs, experiment with techniques, and adjust methods based on what supports the client’s priorities and progress. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions whether someone seeks short-term skill building or longer-term exploration.

Online therapy with this practice uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and access care from different locations, while still focusing on practical strategies and skill development during and between sessions.
