    About Tony

    Tony McKee is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and depression. He works with people facing big life changes and supports those coping with caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and feelings of guilt and shame. Tony aims to make the first steps feel doable and reassuring.

    With two decades of experience, Tony approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and regain a sense of control.

    Tony uses clear, goal-oriented methods that help people make small changes that add up. He draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Narrative Therapy is used to reframe painful stories and Solution-Focused ideas guide short-term goal setting.

    Many people come to Tony when life feels overwhelming or when they need help sorting priorities. He encourages straightforward conversation and develops steps that fit each person's routine. The work often includes trying new skills between sessions and checking what helps.

    Tony is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW. He offers services in English and accepts international clients. To get started he asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

  2. How Tony’s Methods Work Online

    Tony often draws on Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Motivational Interviewing helps people uncover their own reasons to change and resolve mixed feelings about taking steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.

    Narrative Therapy can also be used to rethink painful life stories and separate a person from the problems they face. These approaches are presented in plain language and with practical exercises to try between sessions. Tony views finding the right approach as part of the process and will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist will discuss how to schedule sessions that work with daily routines and what kinds of check-ins or between-session tasks will be most helpful.
