About Anne
Anne Flaherty greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out. She aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to help clients find practical ways forward. Anne is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC with twenty-two years of experience in clinical work.
She listens without judgment and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations tend to focus on what is most pressing, with clear, manageable goals.
How Anne works
Anne mixes talking therapies with skills practice so clients leave sessions with concrete tools to try between appointments. Common topics she sees include stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, depression, relationship concerns, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image and eating concerns, and questions about life purpose and midlife shifts.
Her approach draws on client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. That blend allows therapy to be warm and practical at the same time. Sessions often include problem-solving, emotion regulation skills, and brief experiments to test new ways of coping.
Anne works with each person to build a plan that fits their pace and goals. She encourages step-by-step progress and checks in about what is or isn't working. Her aim is to support stronger coping, clearer choices, and more ease in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the conversation to each person's needs. It helps people feel heard and guides work toward goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, depression, and day-to-day challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match techniques to the issue at hand and the pace the person prefers.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or shorter reminders. Those options help keep therapy consistent even when schedules are tight.
