About Antonio
Antonio Rigonan, LPC, is licensed in Texas and has 15 years of clinical experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, sleep problems, depression, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. He uses person-centered language and practical therapies to help people manage symptoms and make changes.
Antonio draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's perspective and to build a working collaboration.

These approaches are used to address issues such as isolation, financial stress, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

How therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and building a collaborative working relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects what is said, and follows the client's lead on goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and uses structured exercises to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by teaching concrete skills to test unhelpful beliefs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and adjustments can be made over time based on what helps most.
