Tony Hansen, LMHC

Tony Hansen is a Washington state LMHC with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, anger, relationship concerns, and career strain. Tony frames sessions around practical skills and plain talk so people can manage strong emotions and daily pressures.

He uses straightforward methods to help people identify patterns that fuel anger and distress. Sessions often focus on understanding triggers, learning simple coping tools, and practicing different responses to heated moments. He draws on approaches that emphasize values, behavior change, and present-moment awareness.

Tony’s work includes help for people dealing with sexual and gender identity concerns, substance use, chronic illness challenges, first responder stress, and family-of-origin issues. He also supports people managing impulsivity, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and relationship communication difficulties. He aims to reduce the day-to-day strain that makes anger and frustration feel overwhelming.

In practice he combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered, and Existential approaches. That mix lets him teach skills, question unhelpful thinking, and attend to meaning when people want it. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with tools people can try between meetings.

People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer ways to notice warning signs and short strategies to lower intensity. Tony also supports longer-term work so people can change recurring patterns and rebuild relationships affected by temper and resentment.
