Anthony O'Leary

Anthony O'Leary is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with three decades of experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with major life changes. He also supports those facing relationship problems, addiction concerns, sleep trouble, and the challenges that accompany aging.

He has worked mainly in community mental health in many settings. That background means he has seen a wide range of concerns, from depression and trauma to career strain and compassion fatigue. Anthony uses straightforward, respectful language and keeps the focus on practical next steps.

Anthony draws on approaches such as mindfulness therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and attachment-based ideas. He blends these with a client-centered stance, so sessions focus on the person's goals and values. He offers observations, gentle challenges, and tools for coping rather than telling people what to do.

His style is supportive and empathetic, and he emphasizes the interactive nature of therapy. Clients are invited to develop their own strengths and try new ways of handling difficult situations. Anthony aims to help people increase satisfaction in daily life and regain a clearer sense of direction.

He practices in Washington and brings long experience working with older adults and their loved ones through the complex issues of aging. He speaks English and welcomes conversations about whether his way of working fits a person's needs.

Approaches that translate to online care

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and notice unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and ongoing worry by teaching short practices to use during the day.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting with others. It can be useful for people dealing with intimacy issues, communication problems, jealousy, or repeated relationship patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the person's pace and priorities while offering support and reflections to help them make changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those needs. Decisions about what to try come together with the client rather than being predetermined.

Please confirm session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into their day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer a longer conversation when they can set aside more time. Anthony draws on his clinical approaches to make remote work practical and focused on everyday problems.
