About Antony

Antony Ashby is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship and personal struggles. He focuses on communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and life changes.

Background and approach

He speaks plainly and aims to make conversations feel manageable for people under pressure. Antony draws from several approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

He uses Gottman Method ideas when working on relationship skills and communication patterns. He also leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action.

In session he keeps the work practical. Clients can expect to talk through specific moments of conflict, practice new ways of speaking, and set small steps to try between meetings.

He pays attention to how self-worth, boundaries, and past hurts shape current choices and relationships. Antony has seven years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Missouri and Texas.

He offers a straightforward, down-to-earth style that focuses on clear goals and steady progress. He works with individuals and couples and accepts clients from Texas as well as international clients who can work across time zones.

Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription-based format can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the standard matching and booking steps to get started.

Online relationship work and practical therapies

Antony often uses the Gottman Method to map interaction patterns, improve communication, and rebuild connection between partners. That approach focuses on concrete skills like turning toward bids, managing conflict, and repairing after fights to reduce repeated hurts and boost understanding.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions, creating a respectful, listening-first space where clients set the pace and goals for the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Antony will discuss the options and collaborate with each person or couple to choose what makes sense for their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays focused and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options make it simpler to stay consistent and try new strategies between sessions.
