Anthony Linnen, LCSW

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to consider starting—or continuing—your mental health journey. Reaching out for support and finding the right clinician can feel overwhelming, and I commend you for taking this important step.

​

My goal as a clinician is to work collaboratively with you to identify your mental health and overall wellness goals, and to support you in developing practical, meaningful strategies to move forward. I believe therapy is most effective when it is personalized, strengths-based, and grounded in a clear understanding of each individual’s unique experiences, challenges, and supports.

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 29 years of experience across outpatient, inpatient, crisis, and hospital-based settings. Throughout my career, I have worked with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. In addition to direct clinical work, I have held leadership and supervisory roles, providing clinical supervision to therapists pursuing licensure and overseeing program development and quality assurance initiatives.

​

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, practical, and supportive. I draw from evidence-based practices and tailor treatment to best meet each client’s needs, helping clients build insight, develop coping skills, and strengthen their ability to navigate life’s challenges. I also recognize that mental health is closely connected to other areas of life, and when appropriate, I assist clients in identifying and accessing community resources and additional supports to promote overall wellbeing.

​

​I strive to create a therapeutic space that is respectful, grounded, and focused on helping clients feel supported and empowered. Whether you are seeking help for a specific concern or looking to make broader life changes, my goal is to work alongside you in a way that feels safe, purposeful, and effective.

I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore whether we would be a good fit to work together.
