About Anne
Annie believes taking the first step toward a different life takes courage. She offers steady support while people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical next steps and clearer understanding, not on labels or blame.
Her work draws on approaches that look at connections and patterns between people. She uses tools that help clients notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and practices that repair emotional bonds where those are strained. The aim is to make day-to-day interactions feel more manageable and meaningful.
Over nine years she has helped people with a range of concerns. These include abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and struggles with life purpose or midlife transitions. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, body image, money worries, loneliness, and family of origin problems.
Annie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens, reflects, and suggests options people can try between sessions. Her style is straightforward, respectful, and focused on practical change. If you want a calm, steady guide while you work toward clearer direction, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in connection, rebuild trust, and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In remote conversations this approach creates space for people to shape sessions around their priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT in online sessions can involve homework, short skill practices, and clear goal-setting to reduce anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adapt them as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Licensed professionals can guide clients in choosing what will work best for their situation and goals.
