Remote therapy using structured, present-focused approaches
Anna offers online sessions that use methods grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness strategies. With ACT, she guides clients to clarify personal values and take committed action, while CBT offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and stress regulation skills. She also employs trauma-focused approaches when post-traumatic stress and military-related concerns are central to care. These methods are applied alongside the other therapies to address trauma symptoms and their effects on mood, relationships, and substance use. Work is collaborative: Anna partners with each person to select approaches that match their needs and goals. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for ongoing therapeutic contact and for selecting the communication style that best fits a client’s circumstances and preferences.How long has Anna practiced therapy?
