Background and approach
For nearly 29 years she has worked in Georgia with people facing depression, grief, relationship challenges, substance concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with intimacy and self-esteem.

Anderson holds a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Services and a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Development from Clark Atlanta University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and draws on decades of experience to offer straightforward guidance and practical strategies. Sessions emphasize short-term goals and real-life skills.

04Online support
How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. Online sessions use that same focus to make sure goals come from the person's values and needs. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple breathing and attention practices to reduce stress and anxiety; those exercises can be guided effectively on a video call or by phone. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear next steps to try between sessions, which works well with messaging or live chat follow-ups.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work with clients to pick or adjust methods based on their goals, comfort, and daily routine. The plan can change as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and conversation. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in, get short coaching, or maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
