About Frank

Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He creates a calm space where clients can talk about communication problems, social anxiety, and worries that get in the way of daily life.

He works with people who feel stuck by shame, guilt, or low self-esteem. Sessions aim to identify practical steps that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of purpose. He also supports people coping with grief, anger, mood challenges, and addiction-related concerns.

With 15 years of experience, Frank draws on several different approaches to match each person's needs. He may use cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based tools to tolerate strong feelings, or client-centered listening to help clients feel heard.

Frank pays special attention to attachment and relationship patterns that shape how people relate to others. He often helps clients untangle family of origin issues, codependency, and fatherhood concerns while rebuilding healthier ways of connecting.

In sessions he focuses on small, achievable changes. That can mean practicing new communication skills, developing routines that reduce stress, or learning coping tools for overwhelming emotions. The goal is steady progress you can notice in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current bonds and communication, helping people rework attachment patterns that contribute to relationship strain and emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than committing to one fixed method at the start.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer barriers to keeping regular appointments. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find virtual work helpful for regular check-ins, skills practice, and guided discussion without needing long travel times.
