More about Anne
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I approach my work holistically, considering the interaction of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual forces in the mental health and development of individuals. I have worked as a social worker in a variety of settings including hospitals, assisted living facilities, group homes, mental health agencies, public schools, homeless shelters, and private practice. My professional experience has included working with individuals suffering from catastrophic illness, traumatic events, behavior disorders, adjustment to a major change in life circumstances, and prolonged and severe mental illnesses. My approach to therapy is eclectic, depending upon the needs of the individual and I draw on cognitive behavioral, strength-based, solution focused, and mindfulness approaches to help clients feel more content, healthy, and productive. Sessions are kind and supportive.

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.
