Anne Berbece

Anne Berbece is a counsellor who combines practical therapy approaches with steady, respectful care. She draws on eight years of experience and a PACFA credential to support people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief and other concerns. Anne aims to build a trusting relationship and meet people where they are.

Anne trained to master’s level and has worked in mental health settings for many years. She uses a trauma-informed lens and focuses on understanding how stress and distress affect both mind and body. Sessions typically begin by listening to the immediate problem and mapping manageable steps forward.

Her work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed thinking and emotion-focused techniques. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practise small behavioural changes, and strengthen emotional understanding in day-to-day life.

People come for help with things like addictions, eating or sleeping problems, low self-esteem, mood disorders, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Anne also supports clients dealing with identity questions, career changes, parenting strain and separation worries through straightforward discussion and practical tools.

Her style is empathic, patient and down-to-earth. She encourages clients to try exercises between sessions and to set goals that fit their life. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Anne’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that matter to them; it is useful for anxiety, anger and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour through practical exercises and homework, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns and how early connections shape current reactions, useful when people struggle with abandonment, communication or relationship-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will discuss options and tailor methods to the client’s goals and situation. The choice is collaborative and may shift as needs change, so clients and therapist check progress together and adjust plans.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try exercises together with the therapist and practise new skills in real-life routines.
