About Anthony
Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska with 30 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues.
He meets people who are dealing with the lasting effects of how they grew up. He talks through patterns that show up now in relationships and daily life. Sessions tend to focus on practical ways to manage strong feelings and to change recurring behaviors that cause conflict or stress.
Anthony uses a range of methods rather than a single technique. He draws on client-centered ideas to prioritize a person's perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral work to identify thinking and behavior patterns, and emotionally-focused approaches when relationship dynamics are central.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of his toolbox for building coping skills and motivation to change. He adapts those methods to the concerns someone brings, such as addiction, grief, or trouble with sleep and anger.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about patterns from their family of origin and current life demands. He has worked with teens, adults, couples, individuals, and families over three decades. That breadth informs a practical, problem-focused way of addressing difficult feelings and recurring relationship patterns.
Approaches used online and what they involve
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities, encouraging open discussion about how family roles and expectations affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on relationship patterns and feelings between people, useful when attachment and closeness are the main issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for managing anxiety, then adding emotionally-focused or client-centered work for relationship concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they fit into a workday, reduce travel time, and make follow-up or shorter check-ins easier. Online sessions can also let someone use mindfulness or CBT worksheets together with the therapist without needing to carry physical materials.
