Annisha Dunaway, LCSW

Annisha Dunaway is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience. She originally served in the Army and currently works as a victim specialist with law enforcement. Annisha meets people where they are and centers each conversation on what the person wants to change.

She approaches therapy as a team effort. Sessions are warm and direct, with straightforward talk about goals and next steps. Annisha draws from different methods depending on the person and the concern rather than using a single fixed approach.

Typical concerns she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes such as divorce or career transitions. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, parenting strains, and midlife questions.

In the room she focuses on practical skills and small, doable steps. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindful attention, or clarifying values and priorities. Sessions aim to build resilience and help people take actions that fit their goals.

Annisha describes her style as encouraging and honest. She helps clients find their own strengths and make changes that matter to them. If someone wants a direct, supportive clinician who adapts methods to the person, she may be a good fit.

How Annisha’s Approaches Work Online

Annisha draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to talk-based sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values, which can help with life transitions and midlife decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying steps, reflecting on what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing one fixed method.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect from quieter surroundings or schedule around work or caregiving duties. The focus is on practical ways to use therapy in everyday life while building skills that carry over between sessions.
