Kristen Anthony, LICSW — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Kristen!

When life feels overwhelming, you deserve a therapist who helps you feel understood, supported, and empowered. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, family concerns, ADHD, work stressors and relationship challenges.

My focus

I received my Master’s degree and bring over thirteen years of experience across inpatient psychiatric care, community mental health, and private practice settings. I have extensive experience supporting adolescents within the LGBTQIA+ community and understand the unique challenges that can arise around identity, belonging, and relationships.

My approach

Clients often describe my style as warm, collaborative, non-judgmental. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—one where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move forward. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient, while providing supportive listening.

My goals for you

I believe meaningful progress starts with meeting clients where they are and building on their strengths. Together, we set realistic goals, develop practical coping strategies, recognize patterns, build confidence, and create lasting change. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I work alongside each client to find what works best for them.

Our first session

You can expect our first session to be conversational, collaborative, and supportive. My goal is for you to leave feeling that you have been genuinely heard and that we have a clear direction for where we can go together. You don’t have to navigate everything alone. The first step is simply showing up.
