About Anthony
Anthony Kleinhans is an Arizona-licensed counselor with two decades of practice as an LPC, LPCC. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and questions about life purpose.
He focuses on practical problems people bring after big changes - job shifts, health setbacks, parenting strains, or losses. He also notes experience helping men and older adults navigate midlife and caregiving pressures. Sessions address topics such as forgiveness, guilt, shame, and rebuilding routines when life feels unsettled.
Anthony blends talking therapies that pay attention to personal history and current patterns. He uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work to identify unhelpful thoughts and from narrative methods to rethink the stories people tell about themselves. Mindfulness approaches are used to help calm intense emotion when needed.
People meet a therapist who aims to be straightforward and practical. Conversations typically include identifying small changes that lower daily stress. He also works on communication skills for family and relationship concerns and strategies for managing substance use and compulsive behaviors.
He mentions a Christian counseling perspective as part of his background, and that faith themes can be part of sessions if the client wants that discussed. For those dealing with chronic illness or caregiver strain, he brings experience addressing the overlap between physical health and mood.
Clients are guided toward clearer next steps rather than promises of specific outcomes. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and the best way to begin before scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Anthony uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the client's perspective and immediate concerns, offering attentive listening and space for people to name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen mood or anxiety, which is helpful for stress, depression, and substance-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the tools over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist aims to match practical scheduling and format choices to daily life and the issues a person brings rather than presuming one fixed way of meeting.
