About Anya
Anya Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with eleven years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Anya approaches therapy with a respectful, down-to-earth manner and aims to help people feel heard and understood.
She believes clients know their own story and brings a strengths-based outlook to each session. Her style is collaborative - she listens, asks practical questions, and helps people set small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings to reduce worry and manage difficult moments. Anya uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to find patterns that keep problems going. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people calm their minds and notice what matters in the moment.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find personal reasons to change. Many people come for help with life transitions, caregiving stress, or the emotional fallout of illness and loss. Anya also supports those facing communication problems, separation or divorce, and the fallout from betrayal and infidelity.
She tailors her work to each person’s needs and pace. Sessions are offered in English and she sees clients across Florida. She works with adults on concerns related to aging and geriatric issues, blended family stress, first responder challenges, immigration-related stress, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Anya aims to create a practical, hopeful path forward.
Approaches that translate well to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches clear skills and exercises that clients can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce rumination and stress. Motivational interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone connect with their own reasons for change and build momentum at a comfortable pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anya will talk through goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls make it possible to work face to face when a visual connection helps, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging allow briefer check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is unpredictable.
