About Anna

Anna Patterson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and other life changes.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience, she draws on a variety of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's situation, addressing issues such as relationships, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her work also includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, attachment challenges, mood disorders, and women's issues.

Her style is warm, interactive, and rooted in respect and sensitivity. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and offers a collaborative space where clients are heard and validated while exploring goals and coping strategies.

Anna commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives to match interventions to what each client needs. She accepts English-speaking clients within Florida and offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Anna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in her clinical work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood and to build practical coping skills. Attachment-based therapy explores how early and adult relational patterns shape emotional responses and helps people develop more supported ways of relating and regulating feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to clarify goals, assess what methods resonate, and adapt strategies over time so therapy aligns with each person’s priorities and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing for scheduling flexibility and access from different locations within Florida. These formats make it possible to continue work during busy periods or when in-person meetings are difficult, while still focusing on practical interventions, emotional processing, and relationship patterns through regular, consistent contact with a licensed professional.
