Background and approach

Practical skills and straightforward conversation are central to her work. Sessions often include real-life tools to handle difficult moments and build confidence. Trauma and abuse are among the areas Anna addresses, and she incorporates approaches that help people process painful memories and reduce their impact.

She also helps with relationship and family-related stresses, parenting challenges, and career or role transitions. Her practice attends to issues like compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and chronic illness concerns. Anna uses a range of approaches tailored to each person, including client-centered methods that follow the person’s lead and evidence-informed techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She may also use EMDR and hypnotherapy when they fit someone’s goals. Working together, she helps people set concrete goals and develop step-by-step plans to meet them. Sessions are offered to adults in Washington and are conducted in English.

Anna aims to be practical, direct, and caring while helping people build skills to manage symptoms and move toward a more satisfying daily life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online healing

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk through what matters most to them and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help process upsetting memories and the reactions they trigger; it can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms and distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. Decisions about which techniques to try are collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through material in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style help, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or situations where travel is difficult, while keeping treatment focused on practical progress.
