    Anthony's Counseling Approaches

    I operate from a solution-focused premise incorporating various techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-behavioral Therapy. My aim is to work towards building a trusting relationship with those whom I serve, while emphasizing that we should take full responsibility for our own actions. I mostly use the information provided by clients to guide my suggestions and actions, as to what might be in the individual’s best interest. I work primarily on issues involving academic performance, career planning/indecision and personal problems like test anxiety, stress management and grief/loss. This also includes interpersonal conflicts between students, staff and faculty. The goal is to reduce or eliminate issues negatively impacting students’ ability to be successful.
