About Anna
In sessions she encourages people to notice difficult feelings and to take small, steady steps toward change. She uses tools that teach coping skills, build emotional awareness, and strengthen boundaries. Her work often addresses trauma, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem, and workplace strain.
Clients can expect a direct but compassionate style that balances support with action. She emphasizes building inner strength and practical skills rather than quick fixes. Therapy may include reflecting on patterns, trying new ways of responding, and developing habits that fit everyday life.
She also works with people on complex relationship dynamics such as narcissistic abuse and toxic partnerships. That work focuses on safety, clarity about limits, and reclaiming a sense of self. Anna describes the therapeutic process as curating one’s life - removing what no longer serves and making space for new experiences.
Her background combines trauma-informed practice with evidence-based methods. People ready to sit with hard feelings and do honest work will find a partner who helps them set goals, practice skills, and notice progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and moving through life changes by focusing on what matters rather than fighting every feeling.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new responses. CBT helps with depression, anxiety, and problem patterns by breaking tasks into concrete steps and skill practice.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust as work progresses. Clients help shape which techniques are used and how sessions move forward.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
