About Anthony

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, sleep problems, mood changes, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. He takes a straightforward, calm approach so conversations feel clear and focused.

Anthony listens first to understand what matters most. He then works with each person to set small, practical goals. Sessions emphasize skills that can be used right away to manage sleep, reduce worry, and cope with strong emotions.

Over three decades of work have shaped Anthony's flexible style. He draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s needs central. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness tools appear in his work when emotional connection or present-moment awareness is useful. He mixes these methods based on what a client needs, not a fixed formula. This helps people handle issues like communication problems, addiction, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes.

Anthony earned a master’s degree in Community Counseling from the University of South Alabama in 1999. He has 30 years of experience working with adults, couples, teens, and families on a range of concerns. He offers practical steps and steady support while clients work toward better sleep, clearer thinking, and improved relationships.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and following their pace. It helps people who need a respectful space to talk through sleep problems, grief, or stress-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills for change. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep disruption, and mood management.

Finding the right therapy style is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try approaches that match their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed. This can mean combining skills training, emotional work, and mindfulness practices based on what proves most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know the available formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions when video is not ideal, and it removes travel time so people can use therapy during a work break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions so that sleep hygiene, thought records, and mindfulness practices remain practical and usable in day-to-day life.
