About Anna
Anna Sage is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients talk through worries and build clearer daily routines. Anna is based in Washington and offers services in English.
Her work often centers on anxiety, grief, addictions, ADHD, and family-related stress. She also addresses hoarding, postpartum depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and hospice and end-of-life concerns. Sessions aim to identify immediate coping steps and longer-term skills that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
Anna draws on client-centered work to make sure people feel heard and understood. She combines that with cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior techniques are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.
With four years of counseling experience and licenses as an LPC and LMHC, Anna emphasizes practical goals and measurable steps. She encourages small changes that add up over time and checks in on progress each session. The pace and focus are shaped by the person in therapy.
People who prefer clear suggestions, homework-style practice, and a calm, listening presence tend to do well with her. Sessions include talk, short skill-building exercises, and planning for real-life practice between meetings.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Anna uses client-centered methods to create a listening, responsive space where the person sets the pace and goals. This approach focuses on understanding what matters most to the individual and shaping sessions around those priorities rather than following a rigid plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is practical and action oriented, often involving short exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting around anxiety and stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions. DBT techniques include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong emotions make everyday tasks harder.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust strategies based on what helps. Sessions include regular check-ins to see what is working and what needs changing.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to communicate on any given day.
