About Frank
Frank Centonze is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, relationship problems, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. He also helps people who want to address family of origin issues and attachment concerns.
Frank focuses on practical skills and clearer communication. Sessions typically include talking through patterns that started in childhood and how those patterns show up now. He helps people notice unhelpful habits, try new behaviors, and practice changes that fit everyday life.
He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to support people managing emotions and relationships. That can mean learning techniques for handling intense feelings, improving problem solving, or building steadier ways of relating to others.
Frank draws on a decade and a half of clinical work to help people navigate transitions like separation, caregiving stress, or shifts in role and identity. He offers direct, practical guidance and focuses on skills people can use between sessions.
People who reach out are usually looking to reduce reactivity, handle grief or loss, or repair communication patterns inherited from their family of origin. To start, he asks about current struggles and what a better day would look like, then partners with the person on concrete next steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that reflect personal values while learning simple skills to tolerate difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize attachment styles and develop steadier ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors that reduce distress.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about current problems, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around caregiving or work, and using tools from CBT, DBT, or ACT between meetings to practice skills in daily life.
