About Anthony
Anthony Russo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience. He works with adults facing depression, anxiety, addictions, and life changes. He also helps people dealing with grief, stress, anger, parenting concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.
Anthony uses a practical, solution-focused stance. He looks for moments in a person's past when things worked better. Those moments become starting points for rebuilding confidence and direction. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps rather than long, unfocused talk.
He frames change as a matter of shifting energy toward what returns value. That can mean narrowing priorities, practicing specific skills, or trying new behaviors. He stresses that a single session rarely changes patterns; steady effort and repeated practice matter more.
Anthony draws on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try alternatives. He also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy depending on a person's needs.
In sessions he helps people define measurable goals, spot exceptions to difficult patterns, and build practical habits that support those goals. He invites clients to bring curiosity and a readiness to refocus energy on what they want to change.
How ACT, CBT and mindfulness shape online sessions
Anthony uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. ACT can help with avoidance, anxiety, and decisions about what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes that reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Mindfulness Therapy is taught as simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support clearer choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend which methods to try first. He treats this as a collaborative process so techniques can be adjusted over time if something does not fit.
