About Antonio

Antonio Wong-Rivadeneyra brings a decades-long social work background to people seeking help with stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He works in both English and Spanish and centers his practice on recognizing each person’s strengths so they can regain greater control over daily experiences and long-term goals.

With 51 years of professional experience and a California LCSW credential, he emphasizes collaborative exploration of the beliefs and habits that shape responses to disappointment, anger, sleep difficulties, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He encourages clients to identify unused personal resources and to practice practical tools that reduce feeling stuck and support steady progress.

Antonio aims to guide clients toward clearer awareness of the internal messages steering their choices and toward gradual mastery of strategies that promote a more joyful, self-directed life. He acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and frames his role as a partner who helps people uncover strengths and develop lasting skills for handling challenges.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Flexibility

Antonio draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill-building. One approach centers on strengths-based work which helps people identify existing resources, reframe limiting beliefs, and build concrete strategies to manage stress, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions. Another frequently used method emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral techniques to address sleep difficulties, anger, career stress, and patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Antonio partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts interventions over time so the methods fit the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single model. This shared decision making helps tailor pacing, homework, and coping tools to what will work best for the person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people balancing busy schedules or geographic constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging he can provide consistent support, flexible scheduling, and multiple ways to communicate between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum with therapeutic work while fitting treatment into everyday life.
