About Anthony
Anthony Nathal is a licensed social worker who offers practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and related concerns. He holds LISW and LCSW credentials and brings five years of clinical experience to his practice in Ohio. Anthony writes plainly and focuses on immediate, useful steps people can take when life feels overwhelming.
He listens for strengths in each person’s story and helps them build on what already works. Sessions are conversational and goal-minded. Anthony encourages small, doable changes that add up over time rather than pushing for dramatic overnight shifts.
Anthony uses straightforward methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help with thought patterns and getting unstuck. He also incorporates mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These approaches are adapted to each person’s needs and pace.
People often come to Anthony for help with low self-esteem, codependency, substance use, and stress tied to identity or life transitions. He pays attention to cultural background and veteran-related issues when those are part of a person’s story. The work typically focuses on concrete coping skills and clearer decision making.
If someone wants to try therapy, Anthony asks about goals and what has or hasn’t worked before. He helps set short-term targets and checks in often to adjust the plan. This keeps the work practical and tied to everyday life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Anthony often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to shape online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational interviewing centers on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings when people want to change addictive behaviors or habits.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. That conversation guides whether to emphasize CBT skills, motivational techniques, mindfulness practice, or a blend of methods in ongoing sessions.
Confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice new skills in real life between meetings and review progress with a licensed professional in regular appointments.
