Frank Centonze, LPC

Frank Centonze, LPC, creates a calm space where people can talk through communication problems, anxiety, and midlife transitions. He focuses on practical steps that help reduce shame, manage guilt, and restore a clearer sense of purpose.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions often center on learning new skills for handling stress, sorting through difficult feelings from past experiences, and improving everyday relationships. He aims to make change feel doable and steady over time.

Mr. Centonze brings 15 years of clinical experience in Texas to his work. That background includes helping people with addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and strong emotional reactions like anger and emptiness. He also supports those facing caregiver strain, fatherhood concerns, and first responder issues.

His methods draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice this means combining skill-building, attention to relationships and attachment patterns, and a focus on values to guide decisions.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal-focused planning, and gentle challenges to unhelpful habits. To begin, the usual first step is a brief questionnaire to match needs with scheduling options and next steps.

Approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values. It helps when life feels stuck or when midlife questions make decision-making harder.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That might mean focusing on skill practice one week and exploring relationship or attachment patterns the next.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking. The aim of remote work is to make therapy fit into everyday life - shorter check-ins around a work break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that reduce the need to arrange childcare. Licensed professionals often use online work to keep therapy practical and consistent with a client's schedule.
