She also supports clients coping with guilt, shame, control problems, and questions about life purpose or self-worth. In session she focuses on skills, problem solving, and small changes that add up over time.
Anna prefers phone and video sessions rather than chat, and she invites prospective clients to begin by completing the intake steps on the site. She describes working alongside people as an honor and emphasizes ongoing learning to improve her practice.
Her style is practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on building emotion regulation and coping tools. Parents reading on a phone will find brief, clear explanations and an invitation to take the next step when they are ready.
Practical therapeutic tools for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s goals and choices. The therapist listens closely and helps people notice strengths and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas add practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for panic, anxiety, and strong mood swings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying skill-based exercises, reframing unhelpful stories, or practicing mindfulness depending on what fits best.
The biography specifies phone and video as session formats she offers and notes she does not use chat sessions. Confirm the exact session options and scheduling during intake before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or school. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and dialectical skills to work over phone or video so people can practice real skills between sessions.
