Anne Wiseman, LCPC

Anne Wiseman is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions such as a midlife crisis. Her manner is direct and caring, and she focuses on helping clients find practical ways to move forward.

In sessions she listens for both what is said and what is left out. Conversations are collaborative and interactive. Clients stay in the driver’s seat while she offers guidance, feedback, and concrete strategies to try between visits.

Her main orientation blends cognitive-behavioral work with a strengths-based perspective. That means she and the client identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, then test small changes to see what helps. She adapts those methods to suit each person rather than using a single script.

Anne has worked in both clinical and private practice settings across her career. That experience includes supporting people after trauma and assisting those dealing with relationship strain, caregiving and hospice-related stress, and other life changes. She also has experience advocating for people in the LGBTQI+ community.

Sessions aim to be practical and focused. People typically leave with specific skills to manage symptoms and clearer next steps. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Anne’s practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear thinking and personal strengths. Cognitive-behavioral approaches look at patterns of thought and behavior, helping people test small changes to reduce anxiety or break unhelpful cycles. A strengths-based approach highlights a person’s existing resources and skills, building on what already works to handle stress, caregiving demands, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process means methods are tailored to practical needs rather than chosen in advance without input.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it easier to continue care during major life changes, manage scheduling around caregiving or work, and keep momentum between in-person visits when those are not possible.
