About Jermaine
Jermaine Anthony is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people address stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, trauma, anger, and confidence issues. He uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. His approach is respectful and focused on practical steps that fit daily life.
He tailors sessions to individual needs and goals. That can mean working on coping skills for strong emotions, building motivation to change, or repairing patterns that lead to conflict.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with clear options for short-term or longer work. Jermaine combines several approaches to meet real problems. He draws on client-centered methods to center a person’s experience.
He uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. He also brings elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when impulses and motivation are central concerns. Clients often come with a mix of issues, such as difficulty managing anger alongside substance use or relationship stress.
He helps people break down big problems into achievable steps. Practical strategies and homework are offered when useful, and progress is reviewed regularly. Sessions are available from Illinois and are offered in English.
Jermaine accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. If someone wants a clear, steady guide through change, he focuses on respectful support and problem-solving.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Jermaine often uses client-centered work, which means sessions start by following what the person says matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another frequent tool. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to reduce anxiety or manage anger.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful and what is not, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, skills practice, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
