More about Frank
- 15 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Amberton University and a Bachelors of Science degree in Communication with a minor in Sociology from the University of Arizona in Tucson. I enjoy working with individuals and families and have experience working with issues of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, emptiness, relationships, life transitions and others.
I began my counseling career 14 years ago as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Dallas Texas where I was a therapist and family counselor at Solutions Outpatient Services. After 3 years at SOS, I took a position at Enterhealth treatment facility in Van Alstyne, Texas as one of their first primary therapists. I left Enterhealth a year later to open a private practice In Dallas. In 2010 my wife and I moved to the majestic Pacific Northwest. Currently I live in Kirkland, WA and have an 8 year old son and a pug.
My approach is person centered and eclectic. I integrate and blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems Theory and other philosophies and techniques. Please know that I have the greatest respect for your courage. Feelings can be overwhelming and disorienting. Intense emotions can be frightening and painful. Depression robs us of the moments in life that are truly worth savoring. It is my firm belief that all emotions have value and utility, containing large veins of information if we take the time to drill down a bit. The more we can embrace and utilize the full spectrum of our experience, from joy to pain, the greater our capacity for self actualization becomes. It is my hope that we can collaborate on a journey of discovery; one that fosters awareness, clarity, acceptance, and change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I appreciate the match-it was nice to have some choices-based on gender preference, age, and religious/spiritual consideration. Frank is a perfect match for me-exceeding my expectations, and just what I need.
Frank is helping me out tremendously. He listens intently to my meandering thoughts. When I pause he briefly puts my thoughts into words so that I understand them even better. He offers great tools that I am incorporating into my life. I trust what he says.
Frank is very empathetic and a great listener. In a short amount of time, he has helped me explain and better understand many of my own thoughts and perceptions about a challenging situation.

So far so good he’s been super helpful!
Frank Aldrige has been such an amazing help and has been a very supportive person during a very stressful time in my life. I always felt like he cared, listened, and had the patience to take the time to understand what was going on with me and acknowledge the difficulties when I had no one else to turn to.
He helps and understands what I'm going through.
I have been meeting with Frank for a few weeks now. I wasn't sure how I was going to like the online mode, but I love it. Frank is easy to talk to, I dont feel judged and I really am feeling more grounded. Something great is a book recommendation Frank gave me. That can go either way, but I felt understood and heard. I read the book and feel like I was given a little gift of knowledge. Thank you Frank. I am excited to see what I can achieve with your guidance.
Very helpful and met my needs!
Frank was a really great listener. I enjoyed every minute with him.
I really appreciate his support snd compassion
Very down to earth and easy to talk with. Good sense of humor and a very good listener.
Frank helped me work through some short term issues and he was great. He really listened to my concerns and asked probing questions to get me thinking about them from other angles.
Good!
I have been very pleased with Frank! He's attentive, provides great advice and is very skilled at his trade.
Frank is very caring - I can tell he really listens to what I have to say - despite sometimes my long winded speech when venting - and is very good at actively listening and meeting my needs for feeling seen, heard, and understood, and to develop proactive constructive health solutions to challenges I am facing. Thank you very much Frank
He is helpful and insightful to what I am going through mentally. A great listener.
Frank is patient, and provides support in a meaningful way. He helped me to understand my feelings and behavior in a way that has allowed me to love my life again.
Appreciate his help and kindness
I have only met with Frank once, but the session was good.
Frank is a very kind and compassionate person. I would recommend him quite highly.
I am so glad that I have Frank to help me navigate through my stress and issues. He is very thoughtful and shares key insights that have helped me put into practice and make several changes to how I approach life. This is exactly what I needed.
I know it's going to be a long process and I guess with time the results will hopefully improve on my mental health but it's helpful to have to have someone to talk to and understands the mind.
What can I say about Frank other that he has made a huge difference in my life in a short time.
Frank is very understanding and gentle. He’s careful with his words and intelligently explains his ideas and reactions in a caring manner. He listens very well and is reassuring but honest.
I have only had a few sessions with Frank but he is extremely professional and has helped me understand myself better
Frank has been supportive, listens and understanding of my situation. He has provided successful options and solutions to my present issues. It has helped me find a way to get through my issue.
Frank and I are working through a difficult situation and I look forward to him listening when I am all alone trying to deal with a family matter I need help with.
I’ve really enjoyed my time with Frank so far. He is able to piece together my descriptions of my behavior to get at the function and start supporting me as I tackle my mindsets and beliefs about myself and others. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey of growth with him!
It was great to have conversations with Frank. He really understood and recommended me some great things like books, activities. Appreciates me when I tell him about the efforts I am making.
