02 · In Anthonie's own words

What Anthonie says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) , a Pastoral Counselor, and an Ordained Minister. I truly have joy serving those who are in need of realignment in their daily lives. Genuinely reaching the heart of any challenges/trials in life opens the opportunity of building from the inside out. Working on our relationship, which will be built on being heard and developing solutions together, creates empowerment to conquer all.

My approach to serving involves using methods that create spiritual growth, character formation, strength, and courage to overcome challenges/trials of various kinds. By using Christian Psychology, this establishes a solid foundation that allows those being served to build themselves up with qualities that will assist in binding wounds through healing, increasing self-control, increasing self-worth, and increasing stability. Walking together in this process develops our relationship, which will develop your personal transformation of mind, heart, and spirit.

Serving children, youth, adolescents, families, youth in foster care, foster families, and individuals who have disruptions in their personal and/or family dynamics is my focus. Life challenges that develop an imbalance in mental, emotional, social, and psychological stability are conditions that can be treated by using various methods, which in turn, can increase quality of life.

When serving you and/or your family, I will always have an open ear that validates and acknowledges the challenges/trials you are experiencing. As I am able to keep a tone built on a non-judgmental approach and a level of comfort that opens the opportunity to “let it all out”, it will create the necessary and safe atmosphere for a positive outcome.

03 · How Anthonie works

The 3 approaches Anthonie lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Anthonie lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Anthonie's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Anthonie runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Anthonie practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Anthonie's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Anthonie at this point.

2. Naming Anthonie specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Anthonie is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Anthonie.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Anthonie's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Anthonie. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
