You may know something feels off, but not have the words for what you are feeling or why you keep responding the way you do. My work focuses on helping adults build emotional clarity: learning what feelings are, how they show up, where they may come from, and what to do with them once they are understood.

Helping Individuals Navigate Anger, Anxiety, Emotional Stress, and Relationship Challenges
Many people reach out for counseling because they feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, caught in repeating conflict in relationships, or reacting in ways you don’t fully understand. Over time this can leave you discouraged or unsure how to move forward. Most people don’t intentionally end up in these cycles; often they develop through life experiences, stress, or past hurts that were never fully processed. Counseling can help you slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating healthier patterns in your life and relationships.

Andrew Santi
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
1 Endorsed
Fort Worth, TX 76109
I specialize in working with individuals and couples on issues including, but definitely not limited to, relationship problems, anger/emotional management, communication issues, substance abuse, stress management, grief, parenting, and struggles common to life transitions such as getting married, having children, losing and/or changing jobs, etc.
If there is one thing that I’ve learned in my more than fifteen years working as a therapist, it is that life can be rough no matter who you are. And sometimes rough in ways you never thought it could be. How do you handle those rough times? Have the ways you thought would fix the problems not worked or only led to more frustration? I work with individuals and couples feeling lost or unsure of what to do when they experience rough times. Having been through tough times in life myself, I love working with people to help them find the best ways for them to deal with whatever rough patch they may find themselves in.

Step into a nonjudgmental sanctuary where we collaborate on addressing anxiety, addiction, anger, and trauma.
27 years working with people who fuel themselves with anxiety find a different fuel source! Like if you just push through one more task, hit one more goal, or check one more thing off the list… then you’ll finally be allowed to relax. But every time you get close to "enough," the finish line moves. You climb higher, push harder, and achieve more—yet the underlying exhaustion remains! What started as healthy drive has turned into a cycle that quietly costs you your peace of mind. We break that loop together. My approach to therapy is active, practical, and focused on real relief—not just talking about the problem.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas. The University of Texas at Arlington is where I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work. Being in the helping profession is what I wanted to do since I was a child. My professional experience began in 2016, as a therapist/case manager/discharge planner at a mental health hospital. Working with people in crisis was difficult, but it gave me an opportunity to learn how to handle crisis situations such as people who were suicidal/homicidal, severe depression and anxiety, struggling with psychosis, substance abuse and detoxing, and victims/perpetrators of abuse.

At times life provides us with the opportunities that enable us to grow and accomplish. However, at times it also presents itself in the form of a challenge. These life events can take a toll on our mental health and leave us feeling hopeless, unmotivated, lost, and stuck.

Having been through many touch patches myself, I understand well the importance of regaining one's own sense of purpose, strength, and dignity. I have experiences working with both children and adults using individual and family therapy modalities.

The Christ centered world view is paramount to my approach to healing.

Do you hide parts of yourself that make others feel uncomfortable? Do you carry the shame of being judged for your sexuality, addiction, HIV status, or more? These are some of the hardest things to talk about but it’s even harder going through it alone. You deserve a space where you don't have to translate your experience or defend your truth—where someone actually understands what you're going through. If you have never felt safe, accepted, or understood, I feel your pain, because I have been there.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
