About Anthony
Anthony Watt is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor with eight years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, and major life changes. He communicates in plain language and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
He sees each person as the expert on their own life. He helps clients identify strengths they already have and uses those strengths to address current problems.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills that can be used between meetings. Anthony draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. He adapts these methods to match what a person needs most, whether that means building coping skills, working through painful memories, or finding motivation to change behaviors.
People work with him on a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. These include parenting questions, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger, career decisions, and identity concerns like shame and loneliness. He also supports men and veterans with issues linked to life transitions and service.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Anthony uses a straightforward, collaborative style and helps clients set clear, achievable goals based on their values and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anthony often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety or improve mood. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and helps build internal motivation when someone feels stuck.He also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past experiences are getting in the way of daily life. That approach looks at how traumatic events affect reactions today and teaches skills to manage triggers and reduce distress. Anthony treats selection of methods as a collaboration - he will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help choose the approach or mix of approaches that fits best.
Online therapy lets people connect in the way that works for their schedule and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing, shorter contacts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other life demands while focusing on practical steps and skills.
