About Anthony
Anthony Mastroianni, LCSW, is licensed in Pennsylvania and has 25 years of post-master's experience. He works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He uses client-centered methods and named approaches such as cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies in his practice.
Anthony began his clinical work at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute focusing on substance dependence and mood disorders. He later concentrated on family therapy interventions, including work with highly conflicted couples and people who used aggression in relationships. His background includes individual and group psychotherapy, with psychodynamic, cognitive-based, dialectical, and relaxation-meditative methods to build mindfulness.
He has practiced in rural, urban, and island communities and has experience with people from varied cultural backgrounds. He has worked with active duty personnel and military veterans. Current clinical focus includes mood and anxiety problems, post-traumatic stress, post-acute recovery from substance dependence, family disruption and codependency, and conflicted relationships with or without intimate partner violence.
Anthony describes his approach as person-centered and non-judgmental. He emphasizes a client's ability to find solutions and supports individual freedom of choice. His style is collaborative and practical.
Sessions aim to identify clear goals, explore options that move a person toward those goals, and develop skills needed for success. He frames the difficulties people bring as opportunities to learn how to manage life more effectively.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Anthony uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's perspective and preferences. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying goals, and supporting a client's own choices and accountability.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. CBT helps people learn skills to manage anxiety, depression, and problems related to substance use or anger.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is part of his toolkit for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication in conflicted relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to determine which methods best match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This usually happens during early sessions and can change as goals evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. The therapist's stated clinical approaches guide how sessions are structured, and online work can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, shorten check-in conversations when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about the specific session options offered when you schedule.
