Anthony Washington , LPC

Anthony Washington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alaska who brings three decades of experience supporting teens, adults, couples, individuals, and families. He earned a Master of Science in Community Counseling from the University of South Alabama in 1999 and has since focused his work on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, anger-related issues, domestic violence, substance use, communication challenges, and grief and loss.

He works from an eclectic, strengths-based perspective that centers each person or family’s resources and goals. His clinical experience includes cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, mindfulness practices to enhance present-moment awareness, and emotionally focused therapy to address attachment and relationship dynamics.

Anthony aims to tailor interventions to each situation, drawing on evidence-informed methods and a collaborative stance to help people cope with life transitions, restore relationships, and build practical skills for managing stress and emotional difficulty.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Anthony integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) into his practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s own strengths and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster growth and self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. EFT helps partners and families explore emotional patterns and attachment needs to improve connection and resolve relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anthony works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility that can fit busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from a range of settings.
