Getting to know Anthony Scardina

My name is Anthony Scardina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. I am a therapist at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), working with college students using a brief solution-focused therapy model. Outside of my day job, I provide telehealth services to young adults (ages 17-35) facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, and stress management. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach to therapy depends on the needs and goals of each client. I frequently use CBT and ACT, which help me and the client build a mutual understanding of their situation and work together to chart a path forward. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for college students and young emerging adults who may be dealing with life transitions, social pressures, and difficulty developing a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. These challenges often present as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and exhaustion. My communication style is calm, relaxed, and personable. Being vulnerable can be difficult and overwhelming, so I aim to be my authentic self rather than a textbook. This helps create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients can express themselves and feel heard. I decided to become a licensed clinical social worker because I was drawn to helping people become the best versions of themselves. Those who know me often describe me as an eternal optimist. I pride myself on helping people see their strengths and the beauty in the world. Life can be difficult, scary, and exhausting at times, and that's okay.
