About Annis
LCSW, licensed in Illinois and Arizona, with 13 years of clinical experience. Annis Reyes Frias focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She offers care in English and Spanish and practices in Arizona.
Annis speaks plainly about common struggles. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and tries out new ways of responding. Sessions often include practical skills to calm anxiety, steps to change unhelpful thinking, and focused work on painful memories when needed.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. That means some sessions focus on values and committed action, some on changing thoughts and behaviors, and some on processing trauma experiences. She adapts methods to what each person needs in the moment.
People working with Annis can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and targeted trauma work when appropriate. She pays attention to communication problems and life transitions such as divorce or separation. Practical goals like improving self-esteem, clearer communication, and managing mood are addressed in session.
Annis also supports exploration of life purpose and self-love alongside core concerns. To begin, clients follow a short matching process and schedule an initial session. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her practice focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them. Online sessions may include exercises to notice thoughts and choose value-guided actions that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. In remote sessions clients practice skills like thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and activity planning with therapist guidance. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma memories through structured processing. When used online, EMDR can include guided techniques to reprocess disturbing events while the therapist watches for reactions and adjusts pacing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and new information emerge.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can make real-world changes more immediate.
