About Frank

Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits. He creates a calm space where people can talk through anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and addictive behaviors. He aims to help clients reduce guilt and shame and reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose.

Frank uses a mix of practical approaches to help with mood and behavior. He often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live in line with their values.

Attachment-focused work is part of his practice when relationship patterns or abandonment issues come up. That work looks at early connections and how they shape current expectations and reactions. Frank helps people notice those patterns and try new ways of relating.

He brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and works with concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, anger, dissociation, and co-occurring conditions. He also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, first responder issues, fatherhood challenges, and drug or alcohol addiction.

Sessions emphasize building stronger habits and practical tools for everyday life. Frank aims to help people make steady, manageable changes rather than quick fixes. If you want direct, work-focused therapy that also attends to emotions, he can be a collaborative guide.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Frank regularly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in his practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on what feels most practical that day. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, focus on tailoring session length and tasks to match real-life demands rather than promising a single format.
