About Antonio

Antonio Rigonan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping people work through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and low self-esteem. He also addresses issues like sleep trouble, anger, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He often draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes. He also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people notice how their stories and habits affect daily life.

Antonio’s background includes military chaplaincy and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-San Antonio. That experience informs his calm, respectful style and his comfort talking about topics like men’s issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and hospice or end-of-life matters.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. He helps people clarify what matters, practice new skills, and set realistic steps toward change. Money and financial stress are among the concerns he will talk through when they affect mood and daily functioning.

He provides care in English and Tagalog. Prospective clients from outside the United States are not accepted. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work focuses on listening and meeting you where you are. It creates a space where people can talk about what matters most and set priorities together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments and skills practice to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or stress.

Antonio usually blends these approaches so sessions feel both supportive and practical. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, checking in about what helps and what needs to change. Finding the right mix is part of the therapy process rather than a single upfront decision.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also let people use phone-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual connection helps with skill practice.
