Antonio Rigonan, LPC

Antonio Rigonan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He draws on his background as a retired U.S. Air Force chaplain to offer calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and problems sleeping. He speaks English and Tagalog and aims to make conversations straightforward and approachable.

Antonio focuses on clear, goal-oriented work. He helps people break problems into manageable steps and build skills they can use day to day. Sessions often look at how thoughts, habits, and relationships affect mood and behavior. He also guides people through major life changes and the unique strains that come with caregiving and end-of-life issues.

His style is warm and collaborative. Antonio listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. He uses practical exercises and short-term strategies alongside deeper conversation when needed. This approach fits people who want both immediate relief and longer-term personal growth.

Antonio has worked with military-connected clients and brings sensitivity to veterans and armed forces issues. He also addresses money worries, commitment doubts, isolation, and questions about life purpose. People who prefer to work in English or Tagalog can use his bilingual skills.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Antonio often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and helping each person set their own goals; this approach can help when people need a supportive space to sort through grief or life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and adapt techniques based on a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as people try strategies and notice what helps most.
