About Anthony

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska. He draws on three decades of experience to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and self esteem issues. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where concerns can be talked through and practical steps explored.

He uses straightforward, strengths-based work rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in the room. That can include coping tools for sleep and anger, support through grief, or strategies to manage mood swings and ADHD-related challenges.

Anthony blends methods to match each person's needs. He often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform work on connection and relationship patterns.

He brings experience supporting people dealing with family-origin issues, codependency, commitment worries, and the stress that comes from caregiving or first responder work. Anthony also addresses issues related to substance use, domestic violence, and recovery from trauma.

Anthony earned a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of South Alabama in 1999. He practices with attention to each person’s strengths and practical goals, and he works with adults and couples across a wide range of life concerns.

How Anthony’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths. It helps people feel heard and decide on goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at feelings and connection in close relationships and can help couples and partners improve communication and repair trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that match the client’s needs. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into daily life, reduce travel time, and can make it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. Others appreciate being able to practice mindfulness or CBT tools between meetings. A conversation at the start will clarify what practical setup will work best for scheduling, camera use, and the kind of check-ins someone prefers.
