About Anna
Anna Van Fleet is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person she sees. Her approach focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions as well as the conversations that happen in the room.
She has nine years of experience, including several years providing therapy online. That mix of in-person and teletherapy work has helped her learn how to guide people through life changes and moments of overwhelm.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify small, doable shifts that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Anna uses methods that include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new strategies. She also draws on EMDR when processing traumatic memories feels relevant and on Internal Family Systems to help people understand different parts of themselves.
For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their story and builds on existing strengths.
Homework is practical and tailored to real life, not just theory. People who contact her can expect straightforward conversation, concrete tools to practice between sessions, and a focus on making gradual, sustainable changes.
How Anna’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so sessions feel relevant and respectful. This approach helps when people need space to talk through life changes, relationship struggles, or feelings of isolation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety and depression going. It often includes short exercises to try between sessions to build new habits and reduce panic or worry.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when past traumatic memories are part of current distress. It helps process those memories in steps so they have less emotional charge over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk about options and help decide which methods fit a person’s goals and comfort level. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and live interaction, phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited, chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect and respond on their own schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep skills in use between meetings.
