Background and approach
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with time spent talking about what’s most pressing and planning doable steps forward. Anna uses a mix of talking therapies and structured techniques. She draws on client-centered principles to listen and respond to each person’s priorities.
She also uses cognitive approaches to challenge unhelpful thinking and behavioral strategies to build new habits.

04Online support
Online approaches that fit your life
Anna combines client-centered work with cognitive and skills-based methods. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's goals so sessions stay relevant to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build small, practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping in stressful situations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and will adapt methods to what helps most. This is a collaborative process where goals get adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings while working with a licensed professional.
