Frank Centonze

Frank Centonze, LPC, uses practical, person-centered approaches to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild steady routines. He focuses on clear communication, reducing anxiety, and finding ways to handle anger and stress. He aims to help clients move past shame and reconnect with a sense of purpose.

He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Frank also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered techniques to improve how people relate to others and to themselves. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming and when practical tools are needed.

Across 15 years of practice, he has worked with people facing addiction, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and major life changes. He offers steady, goal-focused support for problems like depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship struggles, and caregiver stress. His approach mixes listening with concrete exercises and homework when that helps.

Sessions typically focus on building manageable habits, improving communication, and developing coping tools for daily life. He helps people who feel stuck after separation, who struggle with emptiness, or who carry wounds from family of origin issues. First responder stress and fatherhood concerns are listed areas he addresses.

Frank works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step starts the process. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety.

Frank treats the choice of method as a team effort. He will review concerns, goals, and day-to-day routines with each person and recommend approaches or a mix of skills that fit. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as they learn what works best.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes sharing worksheets, tracking behavior changes, and practicing new skills between meetings simpler. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote work so progress continues even when life is hectic.
