About Anna
Anna Patterson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns, family-related issues, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Anna uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas along with attachment-informed and psychodynamic perspectives. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help with changing habits or making difficult decisions.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on patterns that repeat over time. Clients talk about difficult moments, what triggers strong reactions, and how those reactions affect work and close relationships. The therapist helps people identify small, manageable steps to test new ways of responding.
When grief or loss is present, Anna lets the pace be dictated by the person in front of her and combines grief-focused work with other approaches to support coping. For anger and resentment she looks at the feelings beneath the surge of emotion and practical strategies to reduce harm and stress.
Her style is interactive and respectful. She aims to build a trusting relationship so difficult topics can be discussed without judgment. People who want clear tools, honest conversation, and steady support often find this approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Anna commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes; this helps with anger, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness in relationships. Psychodynamic elements are used to notice repeating patterns and connections between past experiences and present behavior.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than relying on a single method from the start.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online therapy can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday or avoid travel time. It also allows steady weekly work when schedules are busy and makes it simpler to continue care after a move within the same state. Licensed professionals can use video or phone for different needs, and this practicality is often why people choose remote sessions.
