Anne Ethier, LPC

Anne Ethier, LPC, centers her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include attention to the body and present-moment experience. She invites people to explore how anxiety, stress, addiction, and relationship pain show up in daily life and in the body. Anne writes plainly with a focus on practical change and renewed connection.

She has worked in health and wellness for more than 30 years and has provided counseling in independent practice since 2006. That combination shapes an approach that blends cognitive understanding with attention to bodily experience. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, calm intense reactions, and make different choices.

Anne uses somatic awareness and Hakomi-informed work to support emotional regulation and clearer self-understanding. Therapy often focuses on what happens in the moment in the room so insights can be translated into everyday life. Clients can expect a mix of talking and gentle attention to bodily cues.

Relationship concerns are a focus, including improving communication and rebuilding trust. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, attachment struggles, and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse. Anne offers support for addiction, eating and body image struggles, and the guilt or shame that can follow painful experiences.

Her style is collaborative and steady. She helps people identify practical steps toward change while attending to deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. The practice is based in Georgia and sessions are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Anne often uses somatic awareness and Hakomi-informed methods. Somatic awareness involves noticing bodily sensations and how those sensations relate to emotions and behavior; it can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and emotional regulation. Hakomi-informed work focuses on present-moment experience and gentle exploration of core beliefs tied to early experiences, which can support healing around attachment and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize bodily awareness, relational work, or cognitive understanding as therapy progresses.

The practice description does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow continuation of work when routines change. It can also offer flexibility for shorter check-ins or regular weekly blocks depending on what best supports progress.
