About Anthony
Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and codependency. He helps people who keep putting others first and who struggle with setting boundaries or saying no.
He uses straightforward conversations and practical skills in sessions. He listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, control struggles, or avoidance - and then practices alternatives together. Work may include learning specific thinking and behavior strategies, practicing emotional connection exercises, or using focused mindfulness techniques.
Anthony trained in community counseling and holds a master's degree from the University of South Alabama. He draws on a variety of approaches rather than a single school of thought. That lets him match techniques to the problem a person brings in the moment.
Sessions often mix short-term skills work and deeper emotional work. For relationship concerns he uses methods aimed at improving emotional communication and understanding between partners. For mood or anxiety issues he uses practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
People who contact him typically want clear steps they can use between sessions. He prefers to set concrete goals and practice tools during appointments so clients leave with something to try right away.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's perspective. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at recurring emotional responses in relationships and helps people practice new ways of connecting and responding.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try methods that fit the problem and the person. Sessions may mix techniques so practical skills and deeper emotional work happen together rather than one after the other.
The source biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in when time is tight, sessions that do not require travel, or options that reduce bandwidth needs. Therapists can use in-session exercises, thought-records, coaching on boundary practices, and mindfulness practices remotely, and they will discuss which approach best fits the client's goals.
