Anthonie Etienne, LMFT

Anthonie Etienne is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and depression. He speaks plainly and listens to what matters most so people feel heard and can begin to untangle their day-to-day struggles.

He uses practical strategies grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors. He also draws on mindfulness to build calm and focus, plus solution-focused ideas to set small, useful goals. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented, with clear steps between meetings.

With 12 years of experience, he brings steady experience to common life problems like attachment issues, blended family concerns, communication problems, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. He aims to help people rebuild stability and regain a sense of purpose.

His style is warm and nonjudgmental. He listens first, then works with each person to pick realistic steps that fit daily life. That may include coping tools for strong emotions, ways to repair trust, or short experiments to change routines.

Anthonie practices in Washington and holds a Washington Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential. He offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Anthonie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and relationship patterns because it focuses on clear steps and experiments.

He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity and help people calm strong feelings in the moment. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set concrete, short-term goals so people see progress quickly and build confidence.

Finding the right mix of methods is a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit their life. Adjustments happen over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, short reflections, or support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy days and varying schedules.
