About
Anthony Russo, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor and board certified addiction specialist who supports adults navigating depression, anxiety, and addiction-related concerns. With a solution-focused mindset, he works from the belief that most people can identify times in their lives when these struggles were less intense or not present at all. In therapy, he helps clients look for those exceptions and use them as evidence of capability, resilience, and personal effectiveness, strengthening a sense of self-efficacy along the way.
He also emphasizes how easy it can be to overlook strengths and underestimate what is possible, especially when stress, mood symptoms, or substance use begin to narrow options and confidence. His work is geared toward helping clients reconnect with their abilities and move toward meaningful goals, step by step.
Anthony views therapy as a process that requires time, effort, and a deliberate redirection of energy toward what is most productive. Rather than expecting quick fixes, he encourages consistency and commitment, noting that lasting change is more likely when clients show up regularly and stay engaged. He invites clients to bring openness and willingness as they work together to reduce wasted effort and build more goal-directed focus in daily life.

Evidence-Informed Tools, Delivered Online
Anthony Russo draws from structured, skills-based approaches that translate well to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more effective responses to stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building psychological flexibility - learning to make room for difficult thoughts or feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values. This can be especially useful when clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by avoidance or compulsive habits. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by strengthening present-moment awareness, which can support steadier attention, calmer decision-making, and improved coping under pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, adjusting the focus over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy week, and access support from wherever is most convenient.
