About Anthony

Anthony Patterson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 38 years of clinical experience. He practices in New York and works with people facing anger, trauma, relationship struggles, and issues around sexual identity and self‑esteem. He meets clients who want straightforward help for mood problems, anxiety, grief, and difficulties at work or in close relationships.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and blends approaches to fit the person in front of him. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical tools, and steady progress rather than jargon. He draws on methods that address painful memories, communication breakdowns, and patterns that keep people stuck.

In therapy with Anthony clients can expect a direct but empathetic style. He helps people talk through what drives their anger, how past hurts shape current relationships, and ways to rebuild trust and connection. Work often includes noticing patterns, practicing new responses, and trying different ways to communicate.

He has long experience running individual and group work, and he uses relationship-focused methods to help partners improve how they relate. Anthony supports people coping with shame, abandonment fears, career stress, and life purpose questions. Sessions are practical and aimed at daily life changes.

Anthony sees English-speaking clients in New York. Before booking readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the Start Therapy process on the site.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Anthony uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on processing difficult memories and improving how people relate. One approach helps people work through traumatic memories in a structured way so they become less reactive to reminders and triggers. Another method emphasizes relationship skills and teaches concrete communication tools that partners can use to reduce conflict and rebuild connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or new issues arise, so the therapy stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since current session options are not listed here. Online work can make attending sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins after difficult events. It can also let people try shorter or more frequent meetings when that supports steady progress.
