01About Anam
Anam Hargey offers practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss, or big life changes. She helps clients who want clearer boundaries, better communication, and steadier self-esteem. Anam emphasizes straightforward, paced work so people can use what they learn between sessions.
She uses a client-centered style that focuses on listening first and tailoring the work to each person. Anam draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, showing how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaching manageable tools to shift unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for coping with worry, grief, relationship strain, and problems at work. Anam has 14 years of clinical experience and holds an IL LCPC credential. She trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Loyola University Chicago and a master’s degree in clinical counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
That background informs a practical frame for therapy rather than abstract theory. In sessions she focuses on clear goals like improving communication, handling control issues, or easing social anxiety. She also addresses concerns such as body image, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, money stress, and finding life purpose.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. People considering therapy are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule when it fits. Anam practices in Illinois and works in English.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many clients benefit from learning clear, structured tools that change how they think and act. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another useful technique focuses on skills for communication and emotion regulation, teaching ways to speak up, set boundaries, and manage intense feelings in everyday situations.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That collaborative process includes checking in regularly and adjusting techniques as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new communication skills in real time and bring material from daily life directly into sessions for discussion.
