About Anthony
Anthony O'Leary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 30 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, sleep problems, and major life changes. He also supports those facing addiction, grief, career concerns, and issues tied to aging and end-of-life care.
Much of his work has been in community mental health across different settings. He has spent decades helping people manage common concerns such as family of origin issues, communication problems, isolation, and compassion fatigue. He describes his approach as supportive and respectful, and he expects the person in therapy to lead the process.
Anthony uses practical methods that match the situation. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape wellbeing. He also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques to build skills and steady focus.
Sessions tend to include observations, alternatives, and skill practice so people can try new ways of coping outside session. He emphasizes building a collaborative relationship and finding what fits each person’s life and goals. Over time he helps people strengthen their own resources to manage problems and make decisions they feel good about.

Approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships affect current daily life. It helps people see patterns in how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and worry. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. It helps when someone needs a calm place to sort their thoughts and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and practicing concrete coping skills.Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try together. Changing course is normal; approaches can be mixed or adjusted as the work progresses to match what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and can reduce the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach skills, practice new behaviors, and support better sleep and daily routines while working around a client's life demands.
