About Annamarie
Annamarie Compton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of practice helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or past trauma. She also works with people struggling with shame, guilt, social anxiety, and panic disorder and panic attacks. Her style is calm and straightforward, focused on practical steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Her sessions combine listening with clear tools clients can use between meetings. She describes her practice as faith-informed, so spiritual beliefs can be part of conversations when clients want them included. The work aims to build coping skills and stronger emotional resilience over time.
Annamarie uses trauma-aware methods alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she pays attention to how past events affect current reactions, while teaching strategies to manage distressing symptoms. Sessions move at a client’s pace and emphasize safety and emotional regulation.
She helps people break down big problems into manageable steps. This can mean short breathing or grounding exercises, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or planning new routines to reduce panic and worry. Progress looks different for everyone and is set by each person’s goals.
Annamarie practices in Virginia and works in English. People who want to start are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps people can use every day. One common approach teaches ways to notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns so anxiety and panic feel more manageable. Another approach emphasizes grounding and emotional regulation skills that reduce intensity during panic attacks and help people recover faster.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps the most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and let people meet from familiar surroundings. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or phone options that use less bandwidth. Ask about available session types when scheduling so arrangements match your routine and needs.
