About Tony
Tony Hansen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction while honoring each person’s identity and experience. Tony creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories, current struggles, and questions about meaning and direction.
He listens closely and helps people find practical ways to manage emotions and daily demands.
Background and approach
His work covers many concerns, including trauma and abuse recovery, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep disruption, anger, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with identity questions such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related stress, and those facing chronic illness or disability. Tony draws on several approaches to match the work to the person.
He uses existential ideas to help people face life’s big questions, cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and acceptance and commitment techniques to build meaningful action. He also uses client-centered listening and DBT skills when emotion regulation or interpersonal patterns come up. Sessions aim to combine real skills with a focus on what matters most to the individual.
Tony helps clients set small, achievable goals, practice coping strategies, and notice progress over time. He works collaboratively so each plan fits the person’s needs and life circumstances.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions and find personal meaning when they feel stuck or uncertain. It often focuses on values, choice, and how someone wants to live, which can help with depression, grief, and life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions tied to personal values. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that interfere with daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to shift patterns that cause distress. It can help with mood, sleep problems, and unhelpful behaviors related to addiction or anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. That collaborative process helps ensure the approach matches the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family duties, or daily routines while maintaining continuity of care.
