About Anthony

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska with 30 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes. He also supports those facing family and relationship challenges, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Anthony takes a straightforward, strengths-based approach. Sessions focus on what feels most useful for the person in front of him. He listens closely, helps set clear goals, and offers practical strategies that can be tried between sessions. Clients can expect plain language and direct guidance rather than clinical jargon.

His work draws on a mix of methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage stress and emotions in the moment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy inform his way of addressing connection and communication within relationships.

Anthony earned a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of South Alabama in 1999 and holds an Alaska LPC credential. Over three decades he has worked with teens, adults, couples, individuals, and families in a variety of settings. He brings practical experience with substance use, domestic violence, trauma, grief, and communication problems.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative and goal-oriented. People who want clear strategies and a calm, experienced guide often reach out for help with immediate problems and long-term change.

How his methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's needs and perspective, and it means sessions are guided by what the client brings. It helps people clarify goals, feel heard, and build motivation to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers specific exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand emotional responses and improve connection in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT exercises some weeks, mindfulness practices others, or focusing on emotions in relationship work when that matters most.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking to know how sessions are delivered. Many people find remote appointments let them maintain consistency, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed.
