About Annie
Annie McFadden welcomes people who are ready to try a different way of handling stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Georgia with 18 years in the mental health field. Annie speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She emphasizes an honest, respectful partnership in therapy. Sessions are collaborative and aim to help clients set goals and practice new behaviors.
Background and approach
Annie draws on several approaches to match the work to each person's needs, rather than using one fixed style. Annie has worked in outpatient community mental health settings and has experience with trauma, mood challenges, substance concerns, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and relationship problems. That background informs how she assesses what tends to help and what to try first.
She aims to meet people where they are and build from there. Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered work. Those methods are used to reduce unhelpful patterns, strengthen emotional connection, and increase flexible coping.
Practical skills and short experiments are common parts of the work. Many clients come with complicated histories that involve family of origin issues, attachment or abandonment wounds, or blended-family stress. Annie also supports people dealing with career shifts, compassion fatigue, and the fallout from separation or loss.
She frames therapy as a process of steady change and real-life practice, not quick fixes.
How Annie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-guided action. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression and worry. It includes clear, practical exercises to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes recognizing and naming feelings and changing unhelpful interaction patterns that affect relationships and intimacy.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Annie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, history, and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so therapy remains relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow a fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support possible. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school commitments and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
