Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and solution-oriented. Annie encourages clear goals and small experiments clients can try between sessions to test new approaches. Her background includes nine years of professional experience as an LMFT in Indiana.
That experience includes working with common relationship patterns, family conflict, and anxiety-related concerns. She draws on multiple approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. In session she listens for how attachment and communication shape day-to-day problems.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. When relationships are central, she brings in strategies that support emotional connection and clearer dialogue. Annie prioritizes straightforward language and concrete steps.
She helps people set realistic goals and track small wins. The focus is on helping clients feel less stuck and more able to handle stress, rebuild trust, and improve important relationships.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; it helps people understand patterns that cause anxiety or repeat in partnerships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and goals, giving room to set the pace and topics of work while the therapist reflects and supports. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and habits with clear techniques such as tracking thoughts and trying behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit the client's situation. That collaborative process may shift as needs change so session plans stay relevant.
Online therapy is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and emotional work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can help people reflect between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and try methods that fit real life.
