About
As an altruistic individual, it is my goal to provide the greatest care and service to all clients.
Hello, my name is Henry Clopton, and I'm a native Atlantan who believes in true communalism. I grew up on the Southwest side of Atlanta and attended Morehouse College and Georgia State University for my undergraduate work, then Georgia State for my master's in Rehabilitation Counseling. I'm currently in my third year of a Ph.D. program in the Humanities — with a double concentration in African American Studies and History — at Clark Atlanta University. I work with clients navigating self-esteem, anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, marriage and relationship struggles, existential issues, and more.
During sessions, I create comfort through real conversation — to erase any fears or stereotypes about the counseling process. When you're in the therapeutic space with me, I want you to feel proud, capable, and enough. From there, we do the root work together — through whatever uncomfortable moments of growth that takes.
My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself. I want to give you the tools to meet any challenge and be a positive influence in your community. I hope to build a network of people who actively promote therapy and stand in the gap for those who don't yet know what it can do for their lives. Let's schedule some time to simply talk.

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
There are many levels and types of anger problems. Some people feel only minor irritation but react irrationally and suffer serious consequences. Others experience extreme rage that leaves them feeling out of control. No matter where you fall on the spectrum there is help out there for you.
If you think you could benefit from anger management help, reach out to Thriveworks in Atlanta, GA. We’re here to help.
The first thing to understand is that anger is not the problem. After all, anger is just an emotion. It is not an instruction. We have options. We can act better than we feel – but first we must understand how to do so. For some people it comes naturally and others must large how to deal with anger in a healthy way.
Anger can be caused by pretty much anything. Sometimes it’s the outside world, sometimes it’s something inside ourselves. No matter if it’s aimed at another person or is caused by worrying about personal problems, or even memories of an event, it’s important to uncover the triggers for your anger.
Once you know what those triggers are your counselor can help you investigate them further. For example, some people who don’t feel that their opinions are being heard will get angry about it. Instead of making their opinions and feelings clear they act out.
Avoiding anger is not a realistic goal. Everyone is frustrated by people, places, and things at some point in their lives. The goal instead is to find healthy ways to deal with. An anger counselor can assist you in finding healthy ways to respond to triggers.
Problem-solving skills can help clients react to things in a fruitful way. For some people, anger comes from feeling powerless. When there are specific steps to take to solve a problem it can lead to empowerment – which can lead to healthy responses to anger.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to anger problems. That’s why Thriveworks Atlanta in Sandy Springs, GA works one-on-one to give our clients the personalized help they need. We offer in-person and online care, evening and weekend sessions, and we accept most major insurances. Reach out today to get started.
