Anthony Russo, LPC

Anthony Russo is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with ten years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and addiction. He approaches work with a practical, solution-focused mindset that looks for what has worked before in a person’s life. Anthony aims to help clients reconnect with strengths and small successes so they can build confidence and momentum toward change.

He frames therapy as goal-directed work. Sessions focus on identifying exceptions to problems and shifting energy toward actions that produce meaningful results. Anthony encourages steady effort over time rather than expecting quick fixes, and he describes therapy as a series of manageable steps toward clearer priorities.

Anthony blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness methods. He draws from these to offer practical tools for stress, anger, grief, parenting pressures, and process or substance-related addictions. The aim is to teach skills that can be used outside sessions in everyday life.

He also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome-related challenges, and hospice or end-of-life counseling. Clients can expect a collaborative tone that emphasizes building self-efficacy and reducing wasted effort so life changes feel more attainable.

Anthony practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. He encourages people to come with an open mind and a willingness to try new ways of working toward goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday life

Anthony integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into practical online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, addiction, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, useful for depression, stress, and anger.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, routines, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and preference.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving duties, work breaks, or medical appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require travel, helping therapy fit into a busy life without promising a particular format.
