About Anthony
Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 30 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, ADHD, and other life changes.
He works with adults and couples to address everyday pressures like starting new jobs, relationship strain, and managing mood or substance concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and building skills that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning.
Anthony uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. He draws on client-centered therapy to center the person's perspective and goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behavior patterns. Mindfulness tools and emotionally focused methods are part of his approach when emotional regulation and relationship patterns are central concerns.
He trained at the University of South Alabama and has worked across a range of settings since completing his master’s in community counseling in 1999. That background includes work with people affected by trauma, domestic violence, substance misuse, and grief.
In sessions he tends to keep the focus concrete. Clients practice communication skills, coping strategies, and steps for reducing substance use or managing mood swings. He also helps people sort through family-of-origin issues, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and the fallout from separation or major life transitions.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Anthony blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in ways that fit well with remote work. Client-centered therapy means the conversation centers on the client’s goals and perspective, useful when sorting out life transitions or relationship issues. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can produce concrete homework and short-term practice between sessions. Mindfulness techniques teach present-moment attention and simple exercises to manage anxiety, sleep problems, and anger.Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on how helpful they feel. Expect a mix of talk, skill practice, and brief exercises rather than only theory. The first few sessions are used to find the right balance of techniques for you.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around college, early career schedules, or caregiving responsibilities. It also allows quick check-ins, guided skills practice, and structured homework that slides into a busy week without requiring long travel times.
