About Anthony
Anthony O'Leary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with thirty years in behavioral health. He works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, or changes in life. He also addresses issues such as codependency, addiction, sleep trouble, and compassion fatigue.
Anthony draws on practical, down-to-earth methods to help people make changes that matter day to day. He listens first, and then offers observations and alternative ways to think about a problem. The goal is to help each person build on their own strengths and find clearer paths forward.
Much of his background is in community mental health across many settings. He has supported people through trauma, family-of-origin struggles, divorce and separation, and the transitions that come with aging. He also has experience working with hospice and end-of-life concerns and with first responders.
Anthony uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. He often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. He draws on attachment-based perspectives to notice how relationships shape feelings and patterns.
His manner is supportive and respectful. He emphasizes collaboration, so the person in therapy stays in charge of choices and goals. Sessions are aimed at practical steps and clearer decision making.

How his approaches translate to online work
Anthony commonly blends client-centered care, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and make decisions that fit their values. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and current relationships shape patterns of feeling and reacting, which can help with intimacy and codependency issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revised over time as progress is made or goals change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also let people work from a quieter place or avoid camera use when they prefer not to be on screen. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Anthony, adapt techniques such as mindfulness exercises and behavioral assignments so they work well in remote sessions.
