About Frank

Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people untangle relationship and emotional problems. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help clients talk through communication problems, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame. He aims to make sessions direct and practical.

That can mean practicing new ways to talk with others, learning how to notice strong emotions, or trying tools to manage anger and anxiety.

Background and approach

He works with people facing addiction, grief, mood disorders, and major life changes. Frank draws on 15 years of clinical experience to tailor each plan to the person in front of him. He mixes approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies and cognitive behavioral techniques to match a client's needs.

Sessions are oriented toward building healthier habits and clearer thinking. Common focus areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, family of origin problems, and struggles tied to fatherhood or first responder roles. He also supports people dealing with dissociation, co-morbidity, and disruptive mood challenges.

Frank describes therapy as a collaborative effort. He aims to help clients find steadier ground, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect with purpose. The process is paced to suit each person’s goals and life situation.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name core feelings and change unhelpful interaction patterns. It can be useful when communication is stuck or when emotions keep pulling relationships off course.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, mood struggles, and getting unstuck from unhelpful avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they shape adult responses to closeness and loss; it can support people working through abandonment, caregiver stress, or family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can suit brief check-ins or moments when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep continuity when life is changing.
