About Anthonie
Anthonie Etienne is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 12 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, and depression. He also addresses attachment, communication, fatherhood concerns, and multicultural issues. He offers sessions in English.
He describes a direct, solution-oriented way of working. He listens for what is creating strain and helps people develop clearer communication and better self-control. He uses conversations and focused steps to help people reduce reactive responses and repair rifts with people close to them.
His background includes pastoral counseling and ministry work, which inform how he talks about values and personal change. That background often appears in his focus on character, responsibility, and rebuilding trust after conflict. He frames some work around forgiveness, guilt, and improving relational patterns.
In session he combines practical strategies with reflective exercises. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift them. Mindfulness approaches help people slow down strong emotions and respond more deliberately.
He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy ideas to set concrete short-term goals and track small changes. That makes sessions feel action-oriented and geared toward everyday improvements. People looking to manage anger-related reactions, frustration at work, or ongoing resentment may find this approach straightforward.
To begin, he asks people to identify the patterns they want to change and to set realistic first steps. He frames progress as steady practice rather than quick fixes. Sessions are conducted in English, and international clients are not accepted.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviors that fuel strong reactions and replacing them with more helpful choices. It is often used for anger tied to anxiety, mood, or relationship conflict and aims at practical change in daily life.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to notice emotions before they escalate. These practices can reduce impulsive responses and help people pause long enough to choose a different action in tense moments.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what a better week looks like. This approach keeps work concrete and helps track progress in manageable steps.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as things evolve.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around work breaks or video conversations when travel makes in-person meetings harder. These practical benefits help people keep continuity while they practice new responses and communication skills.
