More about Anthony
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state with over 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field. Much of my work has been in community mental health in a variety of settings serving individuals with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and navigating life's transitions. I have a particular interest in working with older adults and their loved ones as they deal with the multiple challenges involved with aging.
I have training and experience in a number of evidence based practices, including (but not limited to) cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed care, and motivational interviewing. Most importantly, I believe that therapy is an interactive relationship and will also help you develop your own strengths and resources to help you resolve your unique situation and bring more satisfaction into your life.
My style is supportive and empathetic, and based on respect for you and the choice you have made to seek therapy. I will often provide observations and alternatives, but recognize that you are ultimately in charge of the process and will support you in making the best possible decisions for yourself.
Thank you for taking the time to view my profile, and I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

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.

Well qualified and great listening and communication skills. Recalls what we talked about in previous sessions
Tony is amazing, calmed all my worries about therapy because it's new to me. I have already recommended him to a friend after one session. Smart, funny, sympathetic, no judgements, and most importantly made me feel very comfortable in something I was very uncomfortable with starting.
Anthony O'Leary's expertise and ability to help my mindset has been a huge game changer and has resulted in a completely different and optimistic view of my life. He is very knowledgeable in a lot of different areas, and he is always on time to every session & has really innovative ways to help find solutions & build confidence. I'm in a much better mindset now & have made some life adjustments that have been imperative to my well being. I find myself happier & more optimistic in my life. Thank you Anthony for helping me bring out the best version of me!
