About Frank
Frank Centonze is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, relationship-focused methods to help people move forward. He focuses on clear communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding a sense of purpose after loss or change. He draws on the Gottman Method along with other approaches to guide conversations and skill-building in sessions.
Frank aims for straightforward work. He helps people name what feels overwhelming, spot patterns that cause pain, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what a client wants to change next. His practice covers a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, bipolar challenges, grief, anger, and trauma. He also addresses issues like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver strain, codependency, and challenges tied to family of origin or fatherhood.
Over 15 years in the field, Frank has helped people on different paths - those rebuilding after separation, coping with mood disruption, or working through substance use and co-occurring issues. He combines practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance work with a client-centered stance to match each person’s needs.
People can expect a steady, calm presence that focuses on skills and understanding. Frank encourages collaboration - setting small goals, tracking progress, and adjusting strategies as needed. His goal is to help people find clearer ways to relate to themselves and others.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Frank often combines the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing patterns that harm relationships, helping people learn new ways to talk and solve problems. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and committing to values-based actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, useful for people dealing with abandonment, trust, or parenthood concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That may mean trying a tool from one approach, then adjusting based on what helps most in follow-up sessions.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
