More about Ann

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I’m Annie, an Ivy League–educated therapist with over 20 years of experience—and my work goes deeper than just talking about feelings. I help people uncover the patterns running their lives: the hidden cycles of fear, self-doubt, and reaction that keep them stuck. Once you can see the pattern, you can finally change it.

My approach is rooted in emotional awareness and clarity. I guide clients to recognize how fear distorts perception, how old wounds replay in the present, and how to reconnect with their own internal compass instead of chasing external fixes. Therapy with me isn’t about surface-level coping skills—it’s about learning how to align with your truth, break the loop of fear-driven behavior, and create lasting change.

What sets me apart is my ability to spot the threads others miss. I don’t just listen—I map out the emotional and behavioral patterns shaping your life so you can see them clearly, often for the first time. That shift creates freedom, and with it, the chance to finally live differently.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
