Price Cook, LMFT

Price Cook is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working in Washington. He brings 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He is especially experienced supporting LGBTQ and gender identity concerns and issues related to intimacy and relationships.

He focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Sessions blend straightforward problem-solving with attention to how past relationships shape current feelings. That can look like examining automatic thoughts, practicing new ways of relating, or setting small goals to reduce overwhelm.

Price adapts his approach to each person. He listens first, then offers a plan that matches what the person wants to change. He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered ideas, and motivational interviewing to create a tailored path forward.

He also addresses addiction and sexual concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and caregiver strain such as compassion fatigue. Additional interests include aging issues, family of origin patterns, multicultural concerns, and traumatic brain injury.

People can expect clear conversation and concrete options to try between sessions. He encourages steady progress through manageable steps and ongoing review of what is working. Taking a first step can feel hard, and he aims to make that step as understandable and doable as possible.

How therapeutic approaches work online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Online sessions can focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship experiences shape current connections and emotional responses, helping people understand why they react a certain way and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest a plan that may combine methods. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed and needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video mirrors in-person dialogue and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and provide flexibility for different communication styles.
