How Anat works
Dr. Anais blends several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships.
She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotion-focused work is used when feelings need careful attention and repair. Her background includes a master’s degree and a doctorate in social work from Adelphi University in New York State.
Over 30 years she has worked with people from many backgrounds on issues such as trauma, abuse, parenting challenges, and family origin problems. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and doable steps. She partners with people to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce distress.
Dr. Anais works in English and Hebrew and provides care through a range of online session formats. To begin, she asks about what matters most to you and then shapes a plan that fits your life.
The approach is collaborative, practical, and respectful of each person’s history and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses; it helps people understand patterns in closeness and trust and to develop healthier connections. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own experience and pace, offering reflection and support so people can find their own solutions and build on their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical alternatives to reduce anxiety, depression, or coping problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan over time. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps you feel and function better.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and nonverbal cues, phone sessions are easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can handle shorter check-ins during a work break, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy schedule.
