Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and simple tools that can be used between meetings. Conversation is direct and warm, with attention to what helps someone feel safer and more capable in everyday life. Anna draws on several therapeutic methods to fit individual needs, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and EMDR when appropriate.
She also uses ideas from the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems to address relationship patterns and internal conflicts. These approaches are chosen to match a person’s goals rather than applied the same way for everyone. Her background includes nine years of clinical work and prior teletherapy experience.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Anna aims to make the first steps straightforward and supportive so people can focus on making small, sustainable changes. People who value practical strategies and a respectful, collaborative tone often find this style useful.
The work is paced to fit daily life and the real constraints people bring to therapy.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client, helping people feel understood and build on their own strengths. It fits well with video or text formats where the therapist mirrors concerns and helps set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and often includes homework or brief exercises between sessions. CBT adapts easily to video calls or phone sessions and can include written worksheets during chat or messaging. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, supports processing traumatic memories through guided procedures; when used online it requires careful planning and pacing with the client to decide if and how to proceed.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then recommend approaches to try together. Many people move between methods as their needs change, and she works to explain options clearly so clients can decide what feels best.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility: video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when screens are tiring, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written work. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping the focus on useful tools and steady progress.
