How Anne works
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at daily improvements. Anne studied at Northwestern University and completed further training at The Family Institute at Northwestern University and The Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. She has taught and supervised students and served as a Clinical Fellow at the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
In therapy she draws on Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and Jungian perspectives. That mix lets her address both current symptoms and deeper relational patterns. She will tailor methods to what the person wants to accomplish.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Attachment, CBT, and emotionally focused work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to core emotions in relationships and helps people name feelings, express needs, and repair emotional disconnection.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that match the person’s needs and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when schedules or travel make in-person sessions difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
