About Anthony
Anthony O'Leary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 30 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, and life transitions. He is direct and supportive, and focuses on building on a person's own strengths to make daily life more manageable.
Many years of community mental health work shaped his style. He has helped people across a wide range of situations, including addiction, grief, sleep problems, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. He also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues and supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster effects.
Anthony uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness. He often offers observations and possible alternatives, and he encourages clients to take an active role in choosing what feels right.
Sessions are carried out with respect for each person's choices. He emphasizes clear, down-to-earth conversation and helps people develop tools they can use between meetings. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day satisfaction.
Anthony has a particular interest in supporting older adults and those who care for them, as they face the multiple challenges of aging. His background in trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing informs how he approaches recovery and change.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or patterns that keep repeating in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and gives straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative plan can change as needs evolve, and adjustments are made together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer travel demands. If you need shorter check-ins, or want to match appointments to breaks at work, discuss those options when scheduling. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm available online options before booking so you know what to expect.
