About Anthony
Anthony O'Leary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 30 years of experience in behavioral health. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. He also focuses on issues that come with aging and on concerns like codependency and stress.
Anthony spent much of his career in community mental health. He has worked in a range of settings with people who have different needs and life challenges. That background means he is used to practical problems and to people coming in at difficult moments.
He uses several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, and motivational interviewing. In sessions he talks through patterns, helps outline options, and practices small changes that can make daily life more manageable.
Anthony describes therapy as a two-way process. He offers observations and possible alternatives, but keeps the person in charge of decisions about change. Sessions aim to build on existing strengths and to develop clearer ways of handling stress, relationships, and grief.
He has a particular interest in supporting older adults and the people around them as they face aging-related issues. He also works with people dealing with addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and intimacy-related concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and not offered to international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
How sessions work
How Anthony integrates approaches for online work
Anthony commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions. This approach helps people notice repeated ways of relating and try different responses to reduce tension in close relationships.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then test small changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and breaking cycles of people-pleasing or avoidance.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That collaboration includes checking progress and adjusting methods over time.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also make it simpler to attend when quieter surroundings or less screen time are helpful. Licensed professionals, including this counselor, will discuss what session rhythm and structure will work best for each person.
