About Anthony

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska who brings three decades of clinical experience to people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep disruption, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with significant life changes.

Additional focus areas include blended family issues, codependency, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and related concerns like guilt, shame, and forgiveness. His style blends a strengths-based, client-centered orientation with practical, evidence-informed techniques.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears regularly in his work alongside mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and emotionally-focused approaches for relationship concerns. Anthony aims to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional connection where relationships are involved.

He tailors methods to each person or family, drawing on long experience to adapt tools to real-life problems. Licensed in Alaska as an LPC, Anthony pairs clinical knowledge with a collaborative, respectful stance that prioritizes the client's goals and preferences throughout the therapy process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Anthony uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that maintain addiction or sleep problems. He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relationship distress by helping partners understand and change interactional patterns and deepen emotional connection. Client-Centered Therapy informs his overall stance, offering a respectful, empathetic environment where the clients goals guide the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a fixed prescription. He collaborates with each person or couple to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time based on what is most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work from varied locations and to choose the communication style that best supports progress and accessibility.
