About Anna
Anna Patterson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and connections. Motivational Interviewing supports next steps when someone feels stuck or unsure. Anna has eleven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, eating and anger problems, low self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses later-life issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, and themes like guilt, forgiveness, and life purpose. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs. She aims to tailor each session to what the person brings that day, combining practical strategies with space to process emotions.
Many clients find this mix useful for coping with life changes and mood difficulties. People who choose Anna can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process. She invites clients to set goals together and adjusts methods as progress and needs evolve.
The focus is on small, usable steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. In practice this can help people understand patterns in how they relate to others and reduce reactivity in stressful moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and daily functioning. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges that affect routines and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals and preferences together and try approaches that fit the person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative, and methods are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and do structured exercises together. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
