About Anthony

Anthony O'Leary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 30 years of experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and major life transitions. He also helps older adults and their loved ones as they navigate the challenges that come with aging.

Anthony has spent much of his career in community mental health. He has supported people in a range of settings and with a wide variety of concerns, from addictions and grief to sleep problems and compassion fatigue. His approach is grounded in respect and a supportive bedside manner.

He uses several practical methods in therapy, including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas, to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating. He also draws on mindfulness and emotionally-focused work to strengthen emotional awareness and connections.

Sessions are collaborative. Anthony aims to help people identify strengths and build tools they can use outside the room. He offers observations and alternative ways of looking at problems while leaving decisions in the client's hands.

People who value a calm, respectful listener and clear, practical steps often find his style helpful. He works from Washington and offers services in English. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy process to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How his approaches adapt to online work

Anthony often uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior and try small, testable changes. CBT can be useful for issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems where practical steps and homework help track progress.

He also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to explore how people relate to others and to themselves. Those approaches help with relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and grief by improving emotional awareness and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively if a different approach makes more sense as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of online sessions are easier scheduling, avoiding travel time, and fitting short check-ins into a busy day. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills between appointments and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic methods to fit the constraints and needs of each person.
