About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She combines mental health knowledge with a background in exercise physiology and holistic health. Anna aims to help people improve daily functioning and cope with stress and anxiety in practical ways.
Her process is straightforward and actionable. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to build motivation and present-moment awareness.
Anna pays special attention to trauma and integrated well-being. She supports people dealing with trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and issues linked to body image and eating. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, addiction, grief, and career stress by breaking goals into manageable steps.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Anna listens, helps set clear goals, and suggests exercises to practice between meetings. This might include simple mindfulness practices, behavior experiments, or communication skills to use in real life.
Her academic background includes a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan and a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Arlington. She completed a PhD in holistic health in 2023. These areas inform a whole-person approach that links mental health with daily habits and movement.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and helps people decide what matters most, then follows their lead to shape sessions. This works well for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that make problems worse. It uses short experiments and practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, panic-related worries, sleep, and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention and grounding practices so moments of high stress become easier to notice and manage. Small daily practices are often suggested to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on how helpful they feel. Clients and the therapist work together to set goals and pick methods that match needs and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins around a workday, and let someone use practices between meetings in real time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between sessions.
