About Anthonie
Anthonie Etienne is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Washington with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, and depression. He also focuses on issues such as attachment, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, loneliness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
He uses practical conversation and problem-solving in sessions. He listens for the core concerns and then helps people identify steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques are part of his approach. Sessions often include clear goals and small experiments to test what helps in day-to-day life.
His background includes pastoral counseling and ordination, and he integrates values and meaning when clients say those matters are important. He aims to strengthen self-control, self-worth, and stability through direct work on behaviors, emotions, and relationships. That can mean practicing different ways of talking with a partner or trying new routines to reduce reactivity.
He frames therapy as collaborative work. He helps people notice patterns, try alternative responses, and measure whether changes make a difference. For those questioning what comes next in work, relationships, or parenting, he offers structured sessions to clarify priorities and test practical options.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the service's matching and scheduling process.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online work can include setting clear homework, tracking mood, and practicing new communication skills between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind; these exercises are easy to try during or after a remote meeting. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, achievable goals and small changes that move someone toward what matters most in daily life.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which tools to try first based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That means checking progress and adjusting approaches as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to practice techniques between sessions and to bring real-life examples into the conversation.
