About Frank
Frank Aldridge is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. He combines practical tools and plain talk to help people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, and life transitions. He works with individual clients to reduce overwhelm and find clearer ways forward.
He trained in counseling psychology and began his clinical work in Texas before moving to Washington. Over the years he has worked in outpatient and treatment settings and in private practice. That range gives him experience with substance use issues, trauma, parenting stress, and relationship challenges.
Frank uses a person-centered, flexible style. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now. He blends techniques from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and family systems to match each person’s situation. Expect straightforward explanations and practical steps to test between sessions.
In the room he pays attention to emotions as sources of information. He helps people name painful feelings, track unhelpful patterns, and try new behaviors in small steps. For many clients that means learning to tolerate discomfort while moving toward values that matter.
He aims to build a collaborative plan with clear goals and simple practices. Therapy can include skill-building for stress and anxiety, strategies for addiction-related struggles, and exploration of family or childhood patterns that keep recurring. Clients come away with tools they can use on ordinary days.
