How Anna’s Approaches Work Online
Anna commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.She views finding the right approach as a shared process. In the first sessions she will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan together based on what feels helpful and realistic.
