Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - she works with clients to choose what feels most useful for them. Her work includes attention to issues like attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and workplace problems. She also supports people coping with divorce or separation, isolation, guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose.
These topics often come together with anxiety and stress, which she addresses directly. Anne has long experience helping people navigate grief and transitions. She balances practical coping strategies with space to process emotion.
That combination helps people develop new ways of handling tough situations and relationships. Located in New York, Anne brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. She treats each person as an individual and adjusts approaches to match goals and daily life.
Reaching out is a difficult step, and she aims to make it feel safe and manageable for people taking that first step.
Approaches that guide online care
Anne uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person's needs. One common approach focuses on practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress - teaching breathing or grounding exercises, breaking problems into steps, and building routines that make daily life easier. Another approach attends to attachment and relationship patterns by helping people notice repeated behaviors and try new ways of connecting that feel healthier and clearer. Finding the right approach is a team effort. Anne discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques over time so therapy stays useful. Together they decide which tools or ways of working fit the client’s situation and move toward concrete changes. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer it. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging are useful for quick support, follow-up between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still getting consistent therapeutic support.Questions people ask
