She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and post-traumatic stress while also supporting people through relationship breakdowns and recovery from addictive behaviors. Coaching for professional concerns is part of her practice as well.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions
Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and behaviors. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that drive anxiety and panic. These methods teach specific skills to reframe thoughts and reduce distress in everyday situations.Behavioral strategies focus on gradual exposure and activity planning for avoidance, compulsions, and mood problems. Those techniques aim to increase coping skills through small, measurable steps and repeated practice between sessions. For trauma-related concerns, she applies trauma-focused elements of evidence-based care to help people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. This is a team effort - testing options and measuring progress are normal parts of early sessions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week by reducing travel and allowing check-ins at convenient times. They also allow shorter follow-up meetings when the focus is a quick skills check or brief coaching conversation.
