She speaks plainly and avoids judgment while helping people notice patterns in their thoughts and behavior. Her approach aims to make change feel realistic and manageable.
She focuses on anxiety and stress alongside a wide range of concerns such as depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, sleep and eating struggles, and life transitions.

She also supports people facing caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural concerns. Anne helps clients break problems into parts they can work on together in simple steps. Sessions are set up as conversations where the client’s goals guide the work.
She uses client-centered methods to listen first and learn what matters most to each person. She draws on motivational techniques to boost readiness for change and solution-focused ideas to map clear next steps. Anne has three years of practice experience in the contexts listed for this profile and holds the LMFT credential.
She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Her style suits people who want honest feedback, practical options, and a calm, matter-of-fact presence. People seeking an organized, collaborative path through anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, or shifting life roles may find her approach useful.
The first sessions typically focus on understanding current struggles and agreeing on small, doable goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and making the session about what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs reflective, empathetic space to sort feelings and priorities. Motivational Interviewing uses gentle questions and guidance to build a person’s own reasons for change and is useful for habits, addiction, or when motivation feels low. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what’s already working and builds short-term, concrete steps to move forward quickly.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to lean on and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit busy schedules or provide quick support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and comfort levels while keeping the work focused on real, achievable change.
