About Antonio
Antonio Rigonan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He has 15 years of experience and combines a straightforward, people-focused style with practical tools. Antonio speaks English and Tagalog and aims to help clients manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and low self-esteem.
Antonio draws on approaches that help people name problems and try small changes. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. He also uses Client-Centered techniques to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative.
Work in sessions is plain and focused. Clients talk through what feels most urgent, set simple goals, and test steps they can use between meetings. Antonio also brings mindfulness practices when the moment calls for slowing down and noticing thoughts and body signals.
He has particular experience with grief, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and relationship communication issues. Antonio also supports people dealing with money stress, loneliness, hoarding concerns, and end-of-life topics through hospice and palliative conversations.
His background includes service as a U.S. Air Force chaplain and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-San Antonio. That experience informs a calm, steady approach to difficult subjects and practical problem solving.
Clients who are unsure where to start are invited to describe their current biggest worry. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps toward better sleep, calmer days, and clearer decision making.
Approaches that guide online work and rest planning
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. The therapist reflects what a person says and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for improving sleep routines and easing anxiety.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes like sleep scheduling or worry time techniques.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their life, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies for sleep, stress, or mood concerns.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific online options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice new sleep and stress habits in their regular routine while talking them through with a licensed professional.
