Antonio Rigonan

Antonio Rigonan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He brings 15 years of experience to sessions and speaks English and Tagalog. His work focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and low self-esteem.

He draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage difficult feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions often address relationship concerns, sleep difficulties, depression, and adjusting to life changes. He also helps those dealing with compassion fatigue and financial stress.

Antonio's background includes service as a U.S. Air Force chaplain, and he completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-San Antonio. That combination informs a calm, respectful approach in sessions. He aims to create a steady space where a person can name their concerns and try new ways of coping.

His counseling style is warm and collaborative. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person's lead while offering structured tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Mindfulness and Narrative Therapy are also part of his toolbox for learning new habits and reframing personal stories.

People commonly bring issues such as men's concerns, communication problems, isolation, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, and end-of-life topics. Antonio works to help each person build practical skills and clearer direction rather than promising quick fixes.

How approach and online therapy fit together

Antonio often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete exercises to notice thoughts and change behaviors that keep stress, anxiety, or anger active.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. They can adjust pace and techniques so the work feels practical and doable.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to add appointments around work or family obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them and avoid the need to be on camera for every session if that helps someone engage. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps to find session arrangements that work best.
