Anthony Vario, LICSW(He/Him/His)

Anthony Vario, LICSW, works with adults who are used to being the steady one—people who show up for others, manage responsibilities, and keep things moving, but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected underneath. Many of his clients are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, trauma, or major life transitions, and are looking for a space where they can slow down and make sense of what they’ve been carrying.

His approach is relational, emotionally focused, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on active engagement. Rather than staying at the surface, Anthony helps clients identify and understand the deeper emotional patterns shaping their experiences—how they relate to themselves, how they respond to others, and what keeps certain cycles in place. His work is both reflective and direct, supporting clients in developing insight while also making meaningful, lasting changes.

In sessions, Anthony takes a collaborative and structured approach. He engages directly, asks thoughtful and targeted questions, and at times gently challenges patterns that may be keeping clients stuck. At the same time, he is intentional about pacing—ensuring that the work remains grounded and manageable so clients can process without becoming overwhelmed.

Anthony has over a decade of experience working across outpatient, inpatient, and community-based settings, including roles within the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health and private practice. His background informs a steady, attuned clinical presence that allows him to work effectively with both high-functioning individuals and those navigating more complex emotional or trauma-related concerns.

Anthony offers telehealth sessions for adults throughout Massachusetts and works with both in-network and self-pay clients. He provides a flexible and collaborative treatment structure, with session frequency and pacing tailored to each client’s needs and goals.
