About Anthony
Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alaska with 30 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Anthony helps people who are dealing with abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, and family of origin concerns. He also supports those facing domestic violence, substance use, divorce or separation, first responder stress, and forgiveness or guilt and shame.
His style is straightforward and client-focused. He listens for patterns in relationships and emotions that are hard to name. He uses practical tools from several approaches to help people notice feelings, try small changes, and build clearer interactions with others.
Anthony trained in community counseling and earned a master’s degree from the University of South Alabama in 1999. Over three decades he has worked with teens, adults, couples, individuals, and families in a variety of settings. His work draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, naming emotions, and practicing specific skills between meetings. He encourages gradual shifts in how people relate to themselves and others. For the first meeting he asks clients to describe the immediate concern so they can set clear next steps.
How Anthony uses EFT, CBT and client-centered work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming emotions that shape relationship patterns. It can help people and couples notice the interaction cycles that keep them stuck and experiment with different emotional responses.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client clarify priorities and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will discuss options and collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. He often blends techniques so the approach fits what is happening now rather than following one strict model.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or join from a different location when that works better for them.
