Anne is the only therapist I’ve ever worked with that didn’t make me feel like I was being judged. I feel very lucky that I was randomly assigned to her because it feels like it was always meant to be.

Hello and welcome to the BetterHelp community. I'm grateful that you've taken the time to visit my profile page.
Here's a little about me: I have a BA from Vanderbilt University and an MSSW from the University of Texas at Austin. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas with specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and eating disorders.
I am passionate about helping people to live their healthiest lives. By employing a variety of evidence-based modalities and mindfulness practices, my supportive approach to wellness encourages lasting change. Guided by the understanding that we can accept ourselves wholeheartedly while also working toward growth, I use a multifaceted and individualized approach for each of my clients. Whether you are interested in managing your stress, maintaining healthy habits, or improving your interpersonal relationships, I can help.
Regardless of your specific goals, I will meet you where you are. I will help you identify both your strengths and your barriers to change, and together we can co-create a plan to help you live your healthiest, most connected life.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Anne is amazing, so grateful to have her!
So thankful for Anne!
Anne does a great job of learning her patients personalities. She knows when to push and when to sit back. She knows when to challenge a way of thinking and when to let me say it out loud so I figure it out myself.
She is a huge help to me, probably the best counselor I have ever had. I appreciate her objective view on things, gentle reminders of concepts and practices we are working on, and the knowledge that she is there for me and cares about how I feel, or how I see things, and how things impact my life and well-being.
Anne is amazing. She's a great listener, and deeply cares about you and your life goals. She is easily the best counselor I have ever worked with, and I look forward to our sessions each week.
Anne is super understanding. She helped me to uncover areas that I wanted to make sustainable change in a very gentle and caring way.
I really like the way she puts me first. I feel like the advice she gives is tailored to me and not generalizations. She helps me with options I sometimes have a hard time seeing and I just like talking with her.
Anne is so professional. Her expertise in CBT has helped me tremendously while I am going through a challenging time in my life. She is a good listener and asks good questions to understand the situation better and therefore able to offer better help. Her responsiveness to my offline messages is also extremely helpful. I highly recommend Anne Wakefield.
She's patient, and calm, and I really feel like the work she does with me is personalized and is kinda easy to fit into my busy life. I trust her and the work she's doing with me.
Anne has been wonderful to talk with. She's an attentive listener and provides really good feedback. The work she's doing with me and the worksheets she's having me do started benefiting me within a week of talking with her. She has a comfortable presence and I enjoy talking to her. She seems very knowledgeable and can handle the different problems iI throw at her. Highly recommend!
Just two sessions in and I feel completely comfortable and understood!
