About Anna
Anna Kosa is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with six years of experience practicing in California. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Anna speaks English and Russian and aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard without feeling judged. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. Anna helps clients name what they are feeling and find steps they can try between sessions.
How Anna works
Her work often addresses issues tied to relationships and identity, such as attachment concerns, codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and the effects of past abuse or abandonment. Sessions can explore patterns that keep people stuck and focus on small, manageable changes.
Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and shift unhelpful thinking. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and goals. She offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their life and availability.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Anna uses well-established therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Another approach centers on processing and coping with difficult experiences like trauma and grief, helping people make sense of what happened and reduce the way past events interfere with daily life.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text is useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other life demands.
