Anthony Washington, LPC

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

His approach is strengths based and eclectic, shaped by a long history of direct practice with diverse client needs. He incorporates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness techniques, and emotionally focused therapy, while also drawing on client-centered and solution-focused strategies as appropriate. This flexible blend allows him to tailor interventions to an individual or family’s circumstances and goals.

Anthony works with clients dealing with stress, addictions, relationship and family dynamics, trauma, sleep concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to life transitions. He also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, blended family conflicts, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control issues, and first responder stress. Over his career he has supported people through divorce and separation, domestic violence recovery, substance-related problems, and complex family-of-origin concerns.

As an LPC - which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Anthony offers therapy informed by practical coping skills, emotion-focused work, and collaborative problem solving. His practice emphasizes building on strengths, improving communication, and developing strategies that fit each person’s life and values.
