Anthony Nathal

Anthony Nathal is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Ohio with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses attachment issues, codependency, drug and alcohol addiction, and questions about life purpose.

Anthony works in a direct, practical way. He treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths that can be used in everyday life. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small experiments rather than long lectures or vague advice.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and build awareness in the moment. Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term goal-setting and concrete progress toward next steps.

Typical conversations cover coping with anxiety, managing substance use, improving self-worth, and sorting out identity and sexuality questions. Anthony also supports people navigating post-traumatic stress, veteran-related issues, and multicultural challenges. He talks through patterns such as codependency and attachment concerns, and helps people explore what a meaningful next step might look like.

His style is practical and collaborative. He asks questions, suggests small changes to try between sessions, and reviews what worked. People who are uncertain about next steps or who want focused, goal-oriented sessions may find this approach useful.

How his approaches translate to online work

Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and then tests small changes to see what shifts. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening motivation through guided conversation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then adapt methods to fit what the person wants to try. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean toward skills practice, brief goal work, or motivational support.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also let people use phone-based check-ins when bandwidth is limited or opt for longer video sessions when more discussion is helpful.
