She brings 24 years of experience to conversations about life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship loss.

Background and approach

That experience shapes how she structures sessions and sets goals with clients. In sessions she listens first and asks practical questions to clarify immediate concerns. She uses Client-Centered techniques to follow each person’s pace and priorities.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that affect mood, sleep, and substance use. Existential ideas inform her work by helping people explore meaning, choices, and values during hard transitions. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help shifting habits or reducing substance harm.

Trauma-Focused Therapy informs steps for people who have been harmed or overwhelmed by traumatic events. Anna aims to make therapy straightforward and goal oriented. She helps people set small, achievable steps and checks progress regularly.

Talking through what matters now and what changes are possible is central to her approach.

Approaches and Online Options for Meaningful Change

Anna uses a mix of approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's agenda; it helps people feel heard and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and substance use and then tests small changes to improve daily functioning. Existential Therapy helps people think through values, purpose, and important life choices during transitions or grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to raise concerns and set short-term steps so progress can be checked together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the focus on practical, manageable steps.
