About Frank

Frank Aldridge is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience who practices in Washington.

Background and approach

He holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and a background in communication and sociology, and has built a career working with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. He also lists ADHD among his specialty areas and addresses related concerns such as attention and focus within his broader practice.

His style combines person-centered care with an integrative toolkit drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. Frank emphasizes emotional awareness and values each feeling as a source of information, helping clients explore painful or overwhelming emotions without judgment.

He frames therapy as a collaborative journey focused on building clarity, acceptance, and change. Clients can expect an approach that attends to both practical symptom relief and deeper exploration of life purpose, family of origin patterns, and self-worth.

Frank’s work includes attention to issues such as codependency, communication problems, substance use, control issues, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue, tailored to the concerns a person brings into sessions.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it is useful for distress related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, and patterns that get in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, and it is often applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across a range of issues.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so the plan evolves as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work while managing life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions and ongoing support from a distance while adapting session length and frequency to what works best for the client.
