About
Anthony Patterson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a multi-decade career helping individuals, couples, and groups navigate anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and addiction. He draws on decades of clinical experience to provide trauma-informed and relationship-focused care for people of any age, gender, or sexual orientation, including work with LGBT clients and those facing intimacy-related issues, anger, or self-esteem concerns.
As a certified EMDR therapist, he integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing into treatment to address traumatic memories and their emotional impact while also incorporating mindfulness-informed techniques to support emotional regulation. As a certified Imago relationship therapist, he guides couples through structured tools to improve connection, communication, and to resolve power struggles in healthier ways. He also brings training as a certified group psychotherapist to create supportive group settings where individuals can take interpersonal risks and learn from others.
Across individual, couples, and group formats, Anthony emphasizes practical skills, insight, and collaborative planning to help clients address issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, men’s issues, financial stress, mood disorders, sexuality concerns, social anxiety, and workplace challenges. He practices from his base in New York and holds the LMHC credential, which indicates licensure to provide mental health counseling.
Evidence-Based Methods for Online Trauma and Relationship Work
Anthony Patterson uses well-established techniques that translate effectively to remote care. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, focuses on processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity through structured bilateral stimulation and guided recall - it is often used for trauma-related symptoms and intrusive memories. Imago relationship therapy offers structured dialogues and exercises that help couples improve empathy, communication, and connection by identifying unconscious patterns and practicing new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anthony will work with each person or couple to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor treatment using these evidence-based techniques and others as appropriate so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care from a distance. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own setting, choose formats that match their comfort level, and combine synchronous and asynchronous communication to support ongoing progress.How much experience does Anthony Patterson have?
