About Annie
She uses an integrative style that pulls from several approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioral methods, attention to emotions and bonds, and mindfulness exercises to ease overwhelm. Annie also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people live toward what matters to them.
Annie has 18 years of experience in the mental health field. Much of her background comes from work in a state-approved private outpatient community mental health center. There she assessed, diagnosed, and treated a range of concerns across ages and levels of need while in a clinical leadership role.
Her work covers a broad set of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting and blended family issues, caregiver stress, ADHD, mood disorders, and problems with communication and commitment. She also supports people coping with loss, career transitions, and the emotional aftermath of disasters.
In sessions Annie emphasizes honesty, mutual respect, and clear communication. She blends evidence-based techniques with empathy and hope, and she invites clients to shape the work together. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Annie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and still take steps toward their values. It is often useful for anxiety, anger, and for making life changes one step at a time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers concrete tools for managing stress, mood, and everyday reactions like anger.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that lets people set the pace and goals of therapy. This approach supports self-exploration and builds trust over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed path.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific online formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offering options that do not require video if that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals can adapt the exercises above to work by remote appointment, and Annie will discuss what will work best during the initial match and scheduling process.
