About Anna

Anna Claybaugh, LCSW, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Washington. Anna brings ten years of clinical experience and works to help people reconnect with what matters most. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a warm, welcoming space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Anna helps people who struggle to speak their needs, set boundaries, or feel worthy of care. She often supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

She also works with issues like sleep and eating problems, career stress, and self-esteem difficulties. Her approach blends several ways of working, including EMDR, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and elements of Jungian therapy. Anna describes her style as direct but kind, using practical skills, attention to brain science, and trauma-informed care to help clients move forward.

Anna is especially attentive to queer clients and to people in caregiving or healing professions who feel burned out or overly responsible for others. She focuses on identifying what blocks progress, teaching coping skills, and helping clients regain a sense of agency so they can create the life they want.

Online support

Approach and online care that fit your life

Anna blends EMDR with cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to address trauma, upsetting memories, negative thinking patterns, and relationship struggles. EMDR is used to help process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety and stress. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time based on what feels helpful. Clients are invited to share preferences and to move at a pace that fits their needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping care consistent.
