Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Anne uses approaches that focus on practical change and present-moment awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to make room for difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, with the therapist offering a warm, accepting stance to build trust and clarity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before to decide which methods to try. She adapts techniques to fit your situation and checks in about progress as you go.

The site listing does not specify online session formats for this profile, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide you on how to structure sessions so they fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while focusing on concrete skills and steps you can use between visits.
