About Frank
Frank Centonze, LPC creates a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through communication problems, social anxiety, and personal crossroads. He focuses on practical steps that help reduce overwhelm and build more consistent habits. Clients often work on issues like shame, guilt, and reconnecting with what matters to them.
He draws on several therapy styles to match the person in front of him. Sessions tend to be focused and problem-oriented, with room for exploring how past relationships still affect current patterns. That approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the aftermath of trauma.
Frank has about 15 years of clinical experience in Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor. He combines tools from cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas to address both thinking patterns and relational wounds. For people dealing with addiction, codependency, or family of origin issues, he helps clarify patterns and practical next steps.
Work in sessions might include skills practice, behavioral experiments, and guided conversation about hopes and setbacks. He also helps people facing grief, role strain as caregivers or parents, and first responder stress find concrete coping strategies. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's comfort.
To start, he asks people to identify a few clear goals so sessions can focus on progress. Over time the aim is to strengthen choices, reduce reactivity, and increase a sense of purpose in everyday life.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and the push-pull of codependency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and tests new ways of responding through small experiments and skills practice. It is commonly used for mood concerns, anxiety, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people practice new ways of relating and communicating in present relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Frank will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from ACT, CBT, and attachment-informed work over time rather than sticking to a single method.
