Anthony Washington, LPC

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska with three decades of experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, struggling with addiction, or facing relationship and family challenges. He also works with people coping with trauma, sleep problems, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and major life changes.

Anthony uses practical, straightforward methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as thought tracking, grounded breathing, and clearer communication with loved ones.

His background includes a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of South Alabama and extensive clinical experience since 1999. Over the years he has worked with adults, couples, teens, and families on issues like domestic violence, substance use, and family-of-origin problems.

Anthony draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, client-centered work, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. He blends these approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

In sessions he aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through immediate problems and build longer-term coping skills. He emphasizes small, achievable steps that lead to clearer thinking, better communication, and steadier daily routines.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Anthony often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT sessions typically include tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive urges.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. This approach supports self-awareness and builds confidence in making life changes.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then combine methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to immediate problems and longer-term growth.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping treatment consistent.
