Anthony's background includes clinical work in health care settings alongside behavioral health services. That experience shaped how she looks at stress and coping when medical issues, caregiving, or chronic illness are present. She can discuss how physical health and mental health can affect one another in everyday life.

Online support
How attachment ideas and practical therapy work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; it helps people notice patterns in close relationships and name needs that go unmet. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's goals and experience, giving room for people to steer sessions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which combination of attachment-informed listening, client-centered conversation, or CBT skills to try and then adjust based on progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typing. These options help people access regular support while juggling work, caregiving, or health appointments.
