About Anna
Anna Ward Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and addictions. Her approach centers on practical skills and steady support to help clients feel more in control of their lives.
She blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. That means she listens closely, then works with people to identify thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and narrative approaches also appear in her work to help people notice moments of strength and reframe stressful stories. Common concerns she addresses include panic attacks, mood disorders, communication problems, control issues, and guilt or shame. She also helps people explore life purpose, self-love, forgiveness, and relationship challenges.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps. Anna prefers phone and video sessions rather than live chat. She supports clients through guided conversation, skills practice, and goal-setting.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what’s changing. Her style is collaborative and respectful. She helps people find their own strengths and uses evidence-informed methods to reduce symptoms and build healthier habits.
The process is paced to fit each person’s needs and goals.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to a person. In online sessions this looks like guided conversation, checking values, and shaping goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns; it works well over video or phone when practicing new responses and homework between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT skills for anxiety, adding mindfulness practices for emotional regulation, or using client-centered conversation to clarify life purpose. The plan can change as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for interactive skills practice and fuller communication. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions, and ongoing encouragement. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
