About Anne
Anne Kaeding is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with grief and loss, managing depression, handling anger, and sorting through parenting or relationship stress.
She works in straightforward, practical ways. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, building clearer communication, and learning tools to manage strong emotions. Anne aims to help clients notice patterns that lead to anger or low mood and try different responses in session.
Her approach is goal-oriented and collaborative. She and the client set clear aims and try techniques that fit the person’s life. This might include short behavioral strategies, planning changes at home, or practicing new ways to respond in heated moments.
Anne also addresses longer-term issues that can underlie difficult feelings. She has experience with attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, family of origin problems, and mood disorders. She brings that background into sessions when relevant to the client’s goals.
Practical matters are part of the work. Conversations include how stress, caregiving, or burnout affect mood and reactions. People looking for help with impulse control, guilt and shame, or isolation can work with her to create step-by-step changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a plan created with the client. To start, the typical process is to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Anne uses evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior change and emotion regulation. One common method emphasizes learning concrete skills to manage intense feelings - for example, short grounding or breathing strategies and small behavioral experiments to test different responses. These skills help with anger, impulsivity, and stress related to parenting or caregiving.Another approach centers on addressing mood and relational patterns by identifying recurring interpersonal dynamics. This involves noticing triggers, practicing communication alternatives, and making stepwise changes to everyday routines. It can be useful for grief, depression, attachment concerns, and family of origin issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which techniques to try based on goals and preferences, and then review progress together. This helps make sure methods are practical and fit the client’s life.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work or caregiving. They also allow for brief check-ins when a shorter session is needed, and they remove travel time so clients can fit appointments into a busy day.
