About Anthony

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 30 years of experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

He trained with a master’s degree in community counseling and has worked in a variety of clinical settings since 1999. He talks through current problems and patterns, and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and increase clearer thinking around emotional reactions.

His approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and emotionally focused therapy. That mix is used to address what’s happening now - such as outbursts, persistent irritability, or mounting resentment - and the thoughts and habits that keep those patterns going.

Anthony often helps people examine how they respond under stress, improve communication, and rebuild trust after painful events. He also works with substance use issues and the effects of trauma and domestic violence on mood and relationships. He uses straightforward skills practice and reflective conversation rather than abstract theory.

People who meet with him can expect a practical focus and an emphasis on actionable steps. He asks about goals and adjusts techniques to match what the person wants to change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How Anthony Uses Evidence-Informed Methods Online

Anthony draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT sessions include practical exercises and behavior experiments to test new ways of responding.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. That approach helps people feel heard while they clarify goals and decide which skills to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to prioritize based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences rather than using one fixed method for everyone.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, let someone join from different locations, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also let people practice skills between work or caregiving duties without a long commute.
