Anthony Nathal, LISW, LCSW

Anthony Nathal is a licensed social worker practicing in Ohio. He holds LISW and LCSW credentials and brings five years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. He also works with concerns related to addiction and LGBT matters.

Anthony centers sessions on the person in front of him. He treats clients as the expert on their lives and looks for strengths to build on. He uses practical tools and straightforward conversation to help people make changes that feel achievable.

In sessions he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and find reasons to keep moving forward. He keeps explanations plain so people can try strategies between sessions.

Anthony pays attention to backgrounds and cultural influences when they matter to a concern. He also supports people dealing with attachment or codependency issues and those recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. He can help people who are sorting out life purpose, sexuality, or post-traumatic stress.

The work tends to be collaborative and goal oriented. He helps set small, clear steps and checks progress as therapy continues. People who prefer direct, practical guidance and respect for their life story may find his style a good fit.

Practical approaches for online care

Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and for changing habits that keep problems in place.

He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people feel steadier. Mindfulness can support stress management and lessen the pull of automatic responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and he works collaboratively to decide what fits best. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs and adjust over time based on what helps.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or share thoughts without scheduling a call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
