Background and approach
The work is collaborative - clients set goals and Anne helps them move toward those goals at a comfortable pace. Her background in social work means she is used to working with everyday life pressures. She draws on evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs.
That often looks like skills practice, planning small behavior changes, and tracking progress between meetings. Anne prefers clear, simple language in sessions. She offers concrete tools people can use between appointments.
Over her career she has helped many people grow more confidence in handling stress and reduce the hold anxiety has on daily life. Clients who choose her can expect a steady, practical approach. She balances empathy with structure so sessions feel both supportive and goal-directed.
Approaches that meet you where you are
Anne uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves learning and practicing coping skills for anxiety - breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations - which helps reduce avoidance and increase daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes tracking habits and thoughts to spot unhelpful patterns and replace them with clearer, more balanced responses to stressful events.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Anne works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s goals, daily routine, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn’t feasible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
