    About Anthony

    Anthony Nathal is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and questions about sexuality and self-worth. He holds the Licensed Independent Social Worker credential and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, and he practices from Ohio. He presents therapy as a collaborative effort and encourages people who are taking the first step to seek support.

    With five years of clinical experience, Anthony focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change, and he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift everyday habits. He also draws on mindfulness techniques and solution-focused tools to make sessions concrete and actionable.

    In sessions he treats addictions and drug or alcohol concerns with a focus on motivation and small steps. He also supports people dealing with depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and stress by building coping skills and clearer routines. Cultural background, military-related issues, and attachment concerns are part of the work when they matter to a person’s story.

    Anthony emphasizes that clients are the experts on their lives. He listens for strengths and helps people set short-term targets they can reach between sessions. The tone in his work is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

    People who prefer practical strategies and a motivational, strengths-based approach may find his style a good fit. Those considering therapy are invited to complete the platform questionnaire and schedule a session when ready.

  2. How Motivational and Practical Methods Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change. It uses short conversations that sharpen a person’s goals and build momentum for small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns.

    Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s needs and preferences, then try methods that fit those goals. Over the first few sessions, the focus and techniques can be adjusted together so the work feels useful and manageable.

    Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting if that helps someone engage. The original profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can help people use online sessions to practice skills between meetings and keep progress moving forward.
