Background and approach

Sessions are meant to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She uses a mix of methods to address symptoms and patterns. That can include helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and try experiments between sessions to test what works.

EMDR may be part of the work when trauma memories are a central concern. Anna also supports people dealing with a wide range of related issues, such as caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, substance concerns, family of origin problems, body image, and difficulties after separation or divorce. She tailors the focus to the problem a person brings in the moment.

Her sessions aim to be practical and compassionate. She helps people set small goals, build coping skills, and make clearer choices. The goal is steady progress you can use in daily life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it focuses on small changes that matter in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It can help with worry, depression, and relationship difficulties by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be used for trauma memories that continue to cause distress. EMDR aims to reduce the emotional charge of difficult memories so people can think about their past without being overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and comfort level. Sessions can combine approaches and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines.
