About Frank
LMHC in Washington with 15 years of clinical experience, Frank Aldridge focuses on addictions, trauma, relationship strain, mood concerns, parenting stress, and related issues. He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and uses several evidence-informed approaches in his practice. Frank speaks English and bases his work in Washington.
Frank started his clinical career in Dallas as a Licensed Professional Counselor and spent several years providing therapy in outpatient and residential settings. He later opened a private practice in Texas and relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 2010. Those roles gave him experience with substance-related problems, grief, life transitions, and family dynamics.
His working style is person-centered and eclectic. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems to shape sessions. That means sessions often include practical skills, attention to present experience, and work on internal parts or relationship patterns.
In a typical meeting he helps people name what is happening, try small experiments, and practice new ways of responding to stress and strong emotions. He pays attention to patterns connected to family of origin, addiction, codependency, and control issues when they come up.
Practical matters are straightforward. He uses a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled any time. To begin, use the site matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It helps people reconnect to personal values and take small actions toward what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that looks at thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with experiments, and practicing new coping strategies for stress, cravings, or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That conversation guides whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness practices, or parts-focused work with Internal Family Systems is emphasized.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also support steady practice of skills between meetings and make it simpler to continue care after a move or schedule change.
