About Anthony

Anthony Leite is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. He focuses on practical, goal-oriented work that helps people find balance and make changes that fit their lives. He is client-centered and non-judgmental in his approach.

He helps people identify strengths and use them to move past obstacles. That might mean building routines for better sleep, managing stress and anxiety, or addressing substance use. He also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges related to parenting.

Background and approach

His sessions are straightforward and collaborative. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals and a step-by-step plan. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused strategies, adapted to each person’s needs.

Anthony also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding direction or making tough changes. These tools are mixed to match the problem at hand rather than follow a rigid protocol.

Anthony has worked across settings in Hawaii over the past decade, supporting people with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and LGBT concerns among other issues. He aims to make therapy understandable and actionable so people can try small changes between sessions and track progress over time.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and guides them to set goals that reflect their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is useful for sleep problems, stress, and mood shifts.

Anthony also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills support people who need hands-on strategies for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is preferred. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style conversations, or ongoing tracking between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change.
