About Tony
Tony Hansen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 12 years of experience. He focuses on creating a compassionate, inclusive space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleep problems. Tony uses straightforward, practical ways to help people feel better day to day.
He centers sessions on what matters most to each person. That can mean building coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or working on thinking patterns that get in the way. Tony draws on cognitive behavioral tools and acceptance-based ideas to help people change unhelpful habits and notice what they value.
Clients often bring relationship strain, grief, identity questions, or job-related stress. Tony also supports work on intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and chronic health concerns. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and communication.
Sessions mix short-term problem solving with longer work on patterns and meaning. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps people set small, achievable steps. Tony emphasizes practical exercises people can use between sessions.
People considering therapy will find a pragmatic style that values personal choice. Tony aims to help people regain routines, improve sleep and rest, and rebuild resilience after setbacks. He works in English and sees clients in Washington.
How these approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking small actions that match what matters to you. It can help with recurring worry, low mood, and sleep difficulties by shifting what you do rather than trying to eliminate every upsetting thought.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and mood. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tony will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make some exercises easier to practice between visits, such as sleep routines, mindfulness practices, and behavioral experiments.
