She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to adjust unhelpful thinking and tackle specific goals quickly.

People can expect straightforward sessions that focus on what can be changed now. Anne aims to help clients find workable steps, improve communication, and build routines that reduce stress and increase daily functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Anne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and adjust thinking and behavior patterns that increase stress or low mood, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on one problem at a time, sets a concrete goal, and works toward that outcome quickly, which many people find helpful for career or relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so the plan matches practical needs and what the person wants to change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Anne is meeting clients online. When online work is available, benefits can include easier scheduling around work or family, shorter focused check-ins when time is limited, and the ability to continue therapy without commuting. These practical advantages can make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a busy week and stay consistent with goals.
