About Anthony

Anthony Wrifford is a licensed social worker in South Carolina with 25 years of professional practice.

Background and approach

As an LISW-CP, he brings long-standing clinical experience to work with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. He emphasizes clients' existing strengths and treats them as the experts of their own stories while offering guidance and support through challenging life transitions.

His work also addresses parenting and family dynamics, compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, anger and self-esteem struggles, and additional areas including abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Anthony aims to create a collaborative process that helps people identify practical steps toward greater well-being.

He frames therapy as a courageous first step and positions himself as a steady ally in the work of change, adapting focus to each person’s needs and goals.

Approaches for ADHD and Related Concerns Online

Anthony works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and emotional insight. One common approach focuses on building coping strategies and organizational routines to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning; this kind of work helps with stress, ADHD-related difficulties, and impulsivity by teaching clear, repeatable habits and problem-solving methods. Another approach centers on processing emotions and relational patterns to address anxiety, trauma responses, grief, and intimacy-related issues; this method helps clients understand how past experiences influence present reactions and supports development of healthier interpersonal skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anthony treats it as a collaborative exploration. He partners with clients to identify goals, test techniques, and adjust methods over time so treatment aligns with each person's needs, preferences, and pace of progress.

Online formats make this collaborative work convenient and flexible. Clients can meet by video calls for face-to-face conversations, use phone sessions when video is not ideal, or rely on live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and in-between support. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent work toward change while fitting therapy into a busy life.
