Hello, I'm Michael Anthony! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was born and raised in the great state of Texas. I received my Masters degree in social work from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2018. I have extensive experience working with young children, older adults and people of diverse backgrounds. I have worked in many different settings and have robust experience in a multitude of social work facets. I like to work closely with my clients to ensure we strive for healthy and meaningful therapeutic goals. I enjoy listening to personal stories of my clients and getting to the bottom of what makes them tick. My client's are always in the drivers seat of their destiny! I truly want to help my clients live their best, most authentic life.
I strive for all of my clients to feel welcomed and relaxed during our first session. This first time together is critical to the therapeutic relationship. I will start by introducing myself and giving you a brief overview of my background and professional experience. It's important that know who you are talking to. During the session, I will explore your background and discuss any previous experience you may have had with therapy. I will ensure that you a have clear chance to express your concerns and reasons for starting and/or continuing therapy . I will also provide you with ample time to ask any questions and bring up any concerns .
Due to my social work background and experience in working in a multitude of settings my strengths lie in having the ability to work and connect with all nearly all people , regardless of background, identity, age, ability level, etc.
I have experience working with children, young adults, older adults, the geriatric population and the dying population. Due to my broad experience, I feel comfortable working with all age groups and ability levels. I strive to connect with all of my clients.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
I have extensive experience in the social work field and a history of work with diverse populations. My personal style is focusing on the "here and now" and making a concrete plan of action with my clients. I will use CBT to guide and empower clients across barriers so they can have the tools to live their best and most authentic life.
