Narrative Therapists in Vermont

Hey there, welcome! My name is Lydia Anthony, LPC (#85822). Through Rejoice in the Rain Counseling, I provide individual (1:1) online therapy to adults in Texas and Vermont. Maybe you feel... Powerless against the whirlpool of rapid changes. Drowned by the downpour of fear, worry, and anxiety. Like it's hard to see beyond the dark clouds of depression. Swept away by the waves of hurt, regret, and guilt. Or caught up in a cyclone of self-doubt and insecurity. Let me be your companion through the rain into a new chapter of your life! Becoming a counselor wasn’t just a career choice for me; it was a journey inspired by my own lived experiences, which formed the philosophy that drives my practice: a belief that things will get better, but even in the rain, you can find meaning, inspiration, and beauty. Whether you’re looking for extra support during a difficult time or simply seeking personal growth, know that you’re not alone. A space of care, calm, and compassion awaits you.

When I was a little girl, my anxiety was so bad I found it absolutely terrifying to do even the simplest things like ordering from the ice cream truck. I dealt with crippling fear and self-doubt for decades, starting in those earliest years. Through my personal journey, education, and professional experience, I unraveled the toxic thought process that I had unknowingly worked so hard to perfect all my life. Today, I help others conquer the same sorts of fears and self doubt that used to hold me back. My passion is helping others break free from the patterns that hold them back and experience the life they want.

Often, habits, thoughts, and substances that once made us feel safe and reduced our suffering become problematic. Reducing or eliminating behaviors and substances that no longer serve us is necessary to improve our quality of life. Making these changes and navigating recovery can be challenging. Together, we can work to decrease the need for substances and behaviors that interfere with your growth, relationships, and overall satisfaction with life. I provide compassionate recovery support that enables you to draw from your own inner strength and wisdom. Your peace and healing are the focus of my practice.
