About Albert
Albert Staley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He uses a client-centered approach and practical skills to help people manage strong emotions, including anger, and cope with life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Albert commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger and impulse control. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, helping people feel heard as they explore goals and values.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions can work well when a camera isn’t practical, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging lets people send updates or practice skills between appointments. These options help people access consistent care from locations that suit their day-to-day life.
