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 disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and related issues. He also addresses topics such as abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and substance-related problems.
He uses practical, focused conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sessions look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and test small changes to see what helps. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques when these fit the situation.
Anthony trained at the University of South Alabama and completed a master’s degree in Community Counseling in 1999. He has worked with teens, adults, couples, individuals, and families across many settings since then. That background shapes a direct, experience-based style focused on skills and steps people can try between sessions.
In a typical session he listens to the immediate problem, checks how thoughts or routines contribute, and then suggests concrete alternatives to try. He may add mindfulness exercises or motivational interviewing to support change. He also uses relationship-focused methods such as Imago and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when the concern centers on communication or attachment.
People who want structured, practical work to reduce symptoms or improve interactions will find a clear, skill-focused approach. He keeps sessions straightforward and task-oriented, with an emphasis on what can be practiced in daily life.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Anthony commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on clear exercises and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep problems.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client to clarify goals. When relationship issues are central, he may draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to map interaction patterns and work toward different ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the problem and the client's style. This is a collaborative choice and can shift over time as needs change.

They also let people practice skills at home and bring real-life examples into the conversation.
