About Tony

LCSW in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. Tony McKee helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and life changes. He works with issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and self-love. Sessions begin with practical conversation about what’s most pressing and what a person hopes to change.

Tony uses clear, problem-focused methods. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses. He uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and to build momentum for small changes. Narrative Therapy helps people rethink the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work aimed at realistic, achievable steps.

In sessions he emphasizes the person’s strengths and past successes. He listens for what’s already working and suggests small experiments to try between meetings. The approach is direct and practical, with attention to feelings and day-to-day routines.

Tony has two decades of experience across clinical settings. That experience shapes a steady, straightforward style that centers real-life problems and solutions. He encourages people to set short-term goals and review progress together.

How Tony uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions

CBT helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing small behavior changes.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and on building motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels unsure about making changes or wants clearer reasons to act.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tony will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and what has helped before. That collaborative process can be revisited as needs shift.

The original biography does not state which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches can be adapted to shorter or longer sessions depending on what works for the person.
