Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello, my name is Anthony Skerritt. I am a graduate of Mercy College with a master’s in Mental Health Counseling. I am a licensed therapist.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a combination of evidence-based modalities that I find particularly effective in helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I have a strong preference for the following therapeutic techniques: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused Therapy, and First-person approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I value the practical and solution-oriented nature of CBT. It provides clients with effective tools to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be especially helpful for individuals dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and various life struggles. Motivational Interviewing (MI): I appreciate the collaborative and client-centered nature of MI. It allows for a non-confrontational approach to help clients explore their ambivalence and find motivation for positive change. MI can be a valuable technique when working with individuals who may be struggling with motivation or are in the early stages of addressing their concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy: I am drawn to the solution-focused approach, as it emphasizes a client’s strengths and resources, encouraging them to find solutions that work for their unique circumstances. This technique is particularly valuable when working with individuals facing life struggles or seeking to enhance their self-esteem.
First-Person Approach: I believe in the power of creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can share their personal experiences and emotions openly. Using a first-person approach, I prioritize empathy and active listening, which I find crucial in building a strong therapeutic relationship.
In terms of the population I am most passionate about working with, I have a strong affinity for young adults and adults who are grappling with a range of mental health challenges. These may include individuals with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, as well as those facing various life struggles. I also have a particular interest in assisting individuals dealing with personality disorders. I am dedicated to tailoring my therapeutic approach to each client’s unique needs and circumstances, and I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for their personal growth and healing

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions – online therapy has been found to be comparable to traditional in-person sessions for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that best fits their routine and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain regular sessions amid busy schedules.
All participating professionals are licensed therapists, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they seek a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, adaptable way to pursue support and growth without changing the core quality of care.
