Hello! My name is Anna and I am a Licensed Social Worker practicing in the state of Pennsylvania. I have over five years of experience. I graduated from Marywood University in 2015 with a Master in Social Work. Most of my experience is in an outpatient setting working with body image as well as disordered eating. I also have experience working with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. I have experience working with veterans, military members, and military families as well.
I identify as an anti-diet therapist who utilizes intuitive eating principles when treating disordered eating. I utilize multiple theoretical frameworks when working with clients such as; motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strengths based perspective. I believe that everyone has strengths and we must uncover them in order to heal. When treating depression and anxiety I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to deconstruct and reframe negative thinking patterns. I provide positive reinforcement and use humanistic theory to allow for a safe and inviting environment.
I work to foster a non-judgmental environment and look forward to the opportunity to see you heal and grow!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
