Anthony Mastroianni, LCSW

Anthony Mastroianni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania with 25 years of post-master’s experience. He works with people dealing with mood and anxiety problems, addictions, relationship conflict, family concerns, and issues connected to parenting and fatherhood. He also addresses family of origin issues and challenges like codependency, anger, and coping with life changes.

He began work at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute focusing on therapies for substance dependence and mood disorders. After that, he moved into family therapy interventions and helped people in highly conflicted relationships, including those using aggression or violence. He has provided both individual and group therapy in rural, urban, and island communities.

His practice includes cognitive-based and dialectical methods, psychodynamic work, and relaxation-meditative approaches to increase mindfulness. He has experience supporting people in post-acute recovery from substance dependence and those with post-traumatic stress. He has worked with active duty personnel and military veterans and has supported people across different cultural backgrounds.

Anthony’s style is collaborative and client-centered. He helps people identify goals, look at choices that move them toward those goals, and build skills to manage the results of those choices. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill-building, and reflection on patterns that started in childhood or in family relationships when those patterns are relevant.

People who bring problems of mood, anxiety, addiction, relationship conflict, or family-of-origin concerns will find a practitioner who combines talking therapies with behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based exercises. He encourages personal accountability and clear, goal-focused work that fits each person’s circumstances.
