About Anna
Anna Hallinan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers warm, client-centered therapy in Colorado. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Sessions are focused on steady support and practical steps forward.
She uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and body-oriented practices to help people feel more grounded. That can look like learning short skills to manage intense moments, practicing new ways to notice thoughts and feelings, and bringing attention to how the body holds stress.
Background and approach
Anna’s work is collaborative and relational. She aims to create a calm space where people can slow down, get curious, and reconnect with themselves. Many clients come for help with body image, eating and food-related issues, or feelings of guilt and shame.
Her practice reflects trauma-informed values and Health at Every Size and fat-positive perspectives. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationship patterns and emotional habits. Sessions often involve both talking and simple embodied exercises to build steady coping tools.
Anna trained at Metropolitan State University where she earned a Master’s in Social Work and now maintains her Colorado LCSW credential. Her background includes work in independent practice and community mental health settings, which informs a practical and compassionate approach.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take steps that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions because it teaches skills for moving forward even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce distress. It often involves short, practical exercises you can use between sessions to manage anxiety, depression, or relationship worries. Mindfulness and somatic practices invite gentle attention to the body and present-moment experience. These approaches help when feelings get overwhelming by teaching ways to calm the nervous system and stay connected to what is happening right now. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and needs. That means adjusting methods over time and checking in about what is helping. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, reflections between sessions, or a way to work through quick skills when needed.Questions people ask
