She combines mental health and wellness perspectives to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach
She also completed a PhD in holistic health in 2023. These studies shape a focus on integrated well-being that links mental and physical care. In sessions she often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment issues come up. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of the mix when building coping skills and sustaining change. Anna works with issues including trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and career or life transitions.
She also addresses more specific concerns such as body image, attachment wounds, dissociation, and gender dysphoria. Her work includes coaching elements for people aiming to change habits or improve daily functioning. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
People who want straightforward techniques alongside conversation about meaning and values tend to find her practical style helpful.
How Anna’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. The therapist supports the client’s priorities and builds sessions around what matters most to them, whether that is symptom relief or personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and shift the interaction patterns that keep emotional distance or conflict in relationships, and can be useful when attachment or intimacy issues are present.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match those aims. If one approach doesn’t fit, she will adjust the plan so work feels useful and manageable for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports people who prefer short written exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy schedules while still using structured CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, or emotionally focused interventions.
