About Anthonie
Anthonie Etienne is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and family concerns. He writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is causing strain at home or in daily life.
Background and approach
He aims to help people feel heard and to build practical steps toward more stability. With 12 years of experience, Anthonie blends talking, planning, and skill-building.
He uses approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts, paying attention to the present moment, and setting concrete goals. Sessions center on being understood and creating doable steps people can try between meetings.
He also pays attention to attachment, blended family dynamics, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and multicultural concerns. He supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, jealousy, and questions about life purpose.
Work can include improving communication, repairing trust, or managing emotional reactivity. Anthonie describes a respectful, nonjudgmental tone in sessions.
He encourages clients to name what matters most and to set small, realistic changes. Therapy aims to strengthen coping skills and increase a sense of personal agency.
Based in Washington, he conducts sessions in English. People use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their routine.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.
Approaches that guide online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and when someone wants clear steps to change a pattern. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. It helps people calm racing thoughts and feel more present during hard moments. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes and on identifying what is already working. It helps clients set clear goals and try brief experiments between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and daily routine, then suggest which methods to try first. That plan can shift over time if different strategies fit better, and you both adjust the work based on what helps most.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, note-taking, and ongoing reminders between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while working on the same goals they would in person.
