01About Annah
Annah Courson greets people with a calm, practical approach. She is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, based in Alabama with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and LGBT matters.
She also supports those coping with sleep problems, career shifts, ADHD, and the strain of life changes. Her style centers on listening first and working from a person’s strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than complex theory. She encourages people to notice what already works for them and to build from there. Annah blends tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change. For people who have experienced trauma, she employs trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories safely. Over two decades in the field have given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including panic, obsessive thoughts, postpartum mood shifts, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue.
She aims to make each session practical and understandable so people can use what they learn right away. People who prefer talking by video or phone, or who like messaging between sessions, will find options that fit their schedule. She speaks English and provides services within Alabama.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on treating the person as the expert in their life. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own solutions and strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annah will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. She often combines client-centered listening with CBT tools and short-term solution-focused steps to keep progress tangible and manageable.
Online therapy makes meeting easier for busy lives. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, homework support, or a lower-effort way to communicate between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, child care schedules, or times when getting out of the house is hard.
