About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. He uses practical, skills-based approaches to help people manage anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
He draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That means learning simple skills to respond differently to stress, urges, and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Anthony emphasizes building on things that have worked well in a person’s life before. In the room he keeps interventions straightforward and goal-directed. He helps clients identify patterns that drain energy and swaps them for actions that produce better outcomes.
Sessions may include behavioral experiments, values clarification, and practical coping tools for anger and cravings. Anthony encourages steady effort over time. He explains that meaningful change usually takes repeated practice rather than one or two sessions.
The work is collaborative - clients and he set realistic steps and track progress together. He also brings experience helping people through grief, career transitions, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and process addictions. The focus is on usable strategies that fit into everyday life and help people feel more in control.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anger, addiction urges, and life purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which often reduces anxiety and depressive patterns through practical exercises. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that support emotion regulation and relapse prevention.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's situation. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face work and skills practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text allow brief check-ins or ongoing coaching, and messaging supports short updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep momentum between meetings.
