About Annie
Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship strain, or major life changes. Her style is direct and caring, meant for someone who wants clear steps and steady support.
She brings 18 years of experience in mental health work, including roles in an outpatient community mental health center and clinical leadership. That background means she has worked with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment problems, blended family challenges, and career stress. Annie uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness.
These methods are mixed to match the client’s goals rather than following a fixed recipe. Sessions are collaborative. Annie sees therapy as a partnership where honesty, respect, and clear communication guide the work.
She aims to create practical plans people can use between meetings to manage anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday stressors. Her background also includes work with people who have bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related concerns, grief, anger, intimacy problems, and family-of-origin issues. She combines empathy with actionable tools so clients can move toward greater stability and healthier relationships.
How Annie’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and major life transitions by shifting focus toward meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety and depression, offering practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and relationships, helping people understand and reframe emotional responses to improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Annie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then shape sessions around those needs. She combines methods when useful so therapy fits the person, not the other way around.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between meetings.
