About Anthony
Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and major life changes. He favors a straightforward, strengths-based style.
Sessions focus on what the person already does well and build practical skills from there. Conversations are direct but respectful, aimed at small steps that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Anthony blends a few well-known methods to match each person's needs. He uses client-centered work to make space for each person’s story. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify patterns and test new behaviors.
Emotionally-focused ideas support deeper connection work for relationship concerns. Over three decades in the field have brought a wide range of experience. That includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, substance issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and first responder strain.
He also addresses family of origin issues, blended family concerns, abandonment, and codependency. Sessions may include goal setting, skill practice, mindful breathing, and steps to change unhelpful thinking. The aim is to leave each meeting with something concrete to try between sessions.
People who reach out will find a calm, practical approach centered on their needs and goals.
How his methods translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment; online sessions use this approach to let people tell their story and set the pace for work together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes; it works well online because tools, worksheets, and skill practice transfer easily to video or chat. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and change emotional patterns that cause conflict or disconnection, which can be explored in sessions and practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anthony will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose techniques and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face interaction help the work. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, written skill prompts, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and different communication styles.
