Annie emphasizes a practical, down-to-earth way of working and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

In sessions she asks questions, offers feedback, and helps clients set manageable goals. Therapy can include practicing new ways to respond to stress and trying different strategies between meetings. She frames change as a gradual process and checks in about what is working.

People looking for help with panic disorder and panic attacks will find an emphasis on calming strategies and stepwise exposure to feared situations.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques commonly used to ease panic and anxiety are breathing and grounding skills plus graduated exposure. Breathing and grounding skills teach simple steps to lower immediate arousal and regain focus during a panic episode, and they are useful for sudden spikes of anxiety. Graduated exposure involves facing feared situations or sensations in small, controlled steps so people can relearn that they can cope and regain confidence.Another common technique is problem-focused coaching that links emotional work to everyday tasks. This helps when anxiety or stress interferes with work or parenting by breaking problems into manageable actions and tracking progress over time. Annie combines these kinds of approaches to match what a person needs rather than using a single method.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between errands. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when a quick update is helpful.
