About Frank
Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, relationship issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Frank focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. He helps people talk through communication problems, feelings of insecurity, guilt, and shame, and the fallout from past trauma. Sessions aim to identify patterns that increase frustration and then build skills to respond differently.
He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide work. That means sessions often combine values-driven goal setting, skills for managing strong emotions, and attention to relationship patterns that keep problems stuck.
Frank also addresses focused topics like abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, substance use concerns, fatherhood issues, first responder stress, and family-of-origin dynamics. He talks plainly about how these problems show up in daily life and what changes look like in practice.
People meet him for straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way and for step-by-step tools to try between sessions. He asks about goals upfront and adjusts the mix of skills and reflection to fit how someone prefers to work.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or reactive anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can reduce intense emotional reactions and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of ACT, CBT, DBT, or attachment-focused work fits their goals and preferences. That discussion guides what is practiced in sessions and what skills are tried between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that working with a licensed professional online makes it easier to slot appointments into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when needed, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Frank uses the chosen therapeutic approaches to help translate skills into everyday routines and communication patterns that can be practiced between sessions.
