About Anthony
Anthony "T.J" Cedeno is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with seven years of professional experience. He helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and attention difficulties. He also lists social anxiety and phobia among his focus areas.
T.J writes that clients are the experts on their own stories and that they bring strengths into sessions. He uses that perspective to build on what is already working and to identify small, practical steps a person can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and focused on clear next steps rather than abstract theory.
Over the last decade he has worked closely with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities. That background informs how he explains ideas and structures sessions for clarity and repetition when it helps. He also has experience supporting people dealing with chronic pain, codependency, and challenges with communication and impulse control.
In sessions he pays attention to motivation, concentration, and memory, and helps people break down larger problems into manageable tasks. He discusses coping strategies for panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and social fear in everyday language. He encourages simple, repeatable practices that fit into a person’s routine.
Sessions are built around the client’s goals and preferences. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial appointment. T.J practices in Massachusetts and meets with people in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach helps people learn ways to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce the intensity of anxiety and panic over time. Another approach emphasizes breaking problems into small tasks and practicing them repeatedly, which can help with attention, motivation, and building confidence in social situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. That means trying a technique, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, take shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid travel time. A clear plan for the session helps keep meetings focused and practical, and the therapist will suggest homework and short exercises you can do between appointments to reinforce progress.
