About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people cope with depression, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. He combines practical strategies with a hopeful attitude to help people reclaim a sense of control. Anthony keeps sessions direct and goal-oriented so people leave with useful next steps.
He draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to tackle day-to-day struggles. Sessions often include spotting times when things went better and using those moments as a base for change.
Background and approach
Anthony encourages short-term goals that build toward lasting habits rather than quick fixes. Anthony has worked in the field for about 10 years and brings that experience to each conversation. He supports people dealing with grief, stress, anger, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and process or substance addictions.
He also helps people facing career questions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns. In the room he aims for clear plans and steady progress. People can expect to talk through current problems, try new coping skills, and set achievable steps between sessions.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Anthony practices in Pennsylvania and offers sessions in English. He frames therapy as a process that takes time and consistency, and he asks people to bring curiosity and readiness to try different approaches.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small committed steps toward that direction while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that fuel addiction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that lower emotional reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant to the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
