About Antonio
Antonio Rigonan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of experience. He focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and self-esteem. He also addresses men's issues and helps people who feel stuck or disconnected.
He uses straightforward, conversational sessions to help people talk through what matters most.

He also brings mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and rewrite their story.
Clients often bring concerns about relationships, sleeping, depression, or the stress of life changes. He can also help with issues like compassion fatigue, guilt and shame, and problems with communication. Antonio offers help for aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and financial stress when those topics come up.
He speaks English and Tagalog (Filipino), which helps him connect with people from different backgrounds. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with space for reflection and clear next steps. Antonio aims to make therapy useful and doable for busy lives.
To begin, he invites people to describe their main concern and current goals. From there he works together with each person to create small, manageable changes that fit their everyday routine.
How Antonio blends practical methods with online care
Antonio often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in his work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes careful listening and making space for a person's concerns, helping people feel heard and understood. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.He also draws on mindfulness techniques to teach simple ways to notice stress reactions without judgment. Mindfulness can help with sleep issues, anxiety, and learning how to step back from strong emotions. Together these approaches give a mix of listening, skill-building, and short exercises that aim to fit into daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and he works collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals and preferences. He will check in and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, homework tasks, and thought-recording tools between meetings.
