About Anna
Anna has worked with people dealing with chronic illness and pain, and she lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas. She values a straightforward conversation about what’s hard now and what a better day would look like. That helps set small, practical goals that fit into everyday life.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each client’s priorities and CBT to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also brings existential ideas about meaning and responsibility when people want to talk about purpose or life transitions.
In a session Anna will listen first and then offer tools you can try between meetings. Those tools may include ways to break down worries, test unhelpful thoughts, and build routines that reduce stress. She aims for clear steps that feel doable.
People who work with her can expect a collaborative pace. Goals are set together, and progress is checked regularly. If you want practical support for mood, coping, or navigating aging-related concerns, she aims to meet you where you are and help you move forward.

How Anna’s approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy starts with the client’s own goals and priorities. In practice that means the therapist listens carefully and follows the concerns you bring, then helps shape sessions around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps; it is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on current problems, goals, and personal style. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and treatment plans are adjusted together.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins from wherever you are. It also lets the therapist share worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short exercises to practice between meetings. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matching process so sessions match your routine and goals.
