About Anthony
Anthony Skerritt is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on practical help for adults and young adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, with an emphasis on what people can do between meetings.
Anthony draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He also employs acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness practices to help people respond to strong emotions with less reactivity. Motivational interviewing is part of his toolbox for people who feel stuck or uncertain about making changes. He likes brief, solution-focused steps that build on a person’s existing strengths.
Sessions often include practical exercises and small, doable goals to try between appointments. Anthony trained at Mercy College and has four years of clinical experience. He works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
He approaches each person with empathy and straightforward feedback. In session he aims to create a space where people can speak openly and make steady progress. He prefers a collaborative style that matches tools and strategies to each person’s needs.
People can expect clear suggestions, check-ins on progress, and adjustments based on what is working.
How Anthony Uses Practical Approaches Online
Anthony often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT gives concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and thinking that gets in the way of daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of his work; ACT helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life.He brings a collaborative attitude to choosing methods. That means the therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. If a strategy isn’t helping, they adjust the plan together so work in therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for day-to-day tracking, quick coaching, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
