About Anna
She uses straightforward conversations to find what’s getting in the way. Sessions focus on understanding patterns of thinking and behavior and learning new skills to manage difficult emotions. Anna listens first, then helps clients pick small, concrete steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and 12 years of clinical experience. She holds LCSW credentials in West Virginia and also has Ohio licensure listed in her background documents. Her clinical work has included trauma, post-traumatic stress, substance use concerns, and issues faced by veterans and first responders.
Therapeutic approaches she draws on include attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior skills, and EMDR. She tailors those methods to each person’s goals rather than following a single path.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused. Anna helps people weigh options, practice new coping skills, and repair strained relationships when that is a priority. To begin, people use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session based on availability.
