About Anthony
Anthony Clark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with 27 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood dysregulation, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship and family concerns.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of his approaches to help people name and work with strong emotions. He also draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies to address thought and behavior patterns. Sessions are conversational and interactive, with an emphasis on practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Anthony has worked in hospitals, residential settings, homes, and schools. That range of settings informs how he helps people manage everyday life stresses and complex problems. He pays attention to parenting and blended family issues as well as caregiving strain and fatherhood concerns.
When the problem is repeated conflict or stuck patterns, he focuses on how emotions and interaction habits keep problems going. For mood dysregulation and ADHD he uses behavioral tools and skills-based strategies to support coping in daily routines. For grief and trauma he takes a steady pace and helps people find what feels manageable.
People can expect a relaxed and interactive counseling style that blends several evidence-based approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas when they fit the situation. Anthony encourages clients to raise goals and practical priorities so sessions stay focused on real life changes.
Approach-focused online therapy with practical skills
Anthony often combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. EFT helps people identify and work with core emotions and attachment patterns that keep relationship issues repeating. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and understanding the person’s perspective to shape goals. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods best match a person’s goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting the balance of emotion-focused work and skills-based strategies over time.

Online work can make it simpler to continue regular meetings while managing school, work, caregiving, or other commitments, and the therapist will help arrange predictable scheduling and practical steps to use between sessions.
