About Antonio
Antonio Wong-Rivadeneyra is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with decades of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, sleep struggles, and life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps feel manageable for those who feel stuck. He emphasizes practical steps people can take to regain a sense of control and to use their own strengths more effectively.
He believes clients know the story of their lives and brings a collaborative approach to therapy. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that limit daily functioning and on finding small, concrete tools to shift those patterns. He supports conversations about parenting, family conflict, relationships, grief, intimacy concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Antonio frames therapy as a guided process to uncover resources people already have. He helps clients recognize unhelpful internal messages and replace them with more helpful ones. Goals often include improving self-esteem, managing anger, coping with trauma or abuse, and addressing symptoms of depression or ADHD that interfere with rest and routines.
His background spans many years working in California settings where he developed skills helping people rebuild routines and manage sleep disruptions. He emphasizes steady, step-by-step progress rather than quick fixes, and encourages people to practice new skills between sessions.
If someone wants to explore changes in their sleep, parenting approach, or daily rhythm, he offers a steady presence to work through those challenges and to build habits that support better rest and daily functioning.
Approach to evidence-based care and online therapy
Antonio’s work relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear skills and steady practice. One common approach focuses on behavioral strategies to reshape daily routines and sleep habits, helping people build consistent bedtime routines and small changes that improve rest. Another approach emphasizes exploring and shifting unhelpful thoughts and messages people carry, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood when paired with concrete actions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, assess what helps, and adjust the plan over time to find the best fit.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since session types are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or evenings. It can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins, phone conversations that use less bandwidth, or video meetings when a face-to-face feeling is helpful. Many licensed professionals find that online sessions still allow focused skill practice for sleep, stress, and daily routines while fitting better into everyday schedules.
