About Anna
Anna Banwell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in self-esteem, or struggling with big life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions.
She focuses on building resilience and self-compassion through clear conversation. Sessions often include practicing communication skills and identifying small changes that reduce daily strain. She also pays attention to concerns related to cancer, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, and women's issues.
How Anna works
Anna uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening and following each person’s priorities.

Together these approaches support emotional balance and better decision making.
Over three years as an LPC in Wisconsin, she has worked with people navigating transitions and the ripple effects of health and relationship stress. Her work blends empathetic listening with concrete exercises clients can try between sessions. That mix is meant to make progress feel manageable and steady.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She helps uncover strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and map realistic steps toward a clearer sense of purpose and improved day-to-day functioning.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy starts by putting the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters to you, helping you set goals and try things that feel relevant. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating stress without making things worse.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan you can commit to and adjust over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when video would distract or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions or fit brief reflections into a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep consistency while managing work, treatment, or caregiving commitments.
