About Annah

Annah Courson is an LPC in Alabama who works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

With 23 years of professional experience, she emphasizes clients' strengths and practical skills to address issues like low self-esteem, sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. Annah’s approach honors each person's lived experience while offering structured tools when change feels urgent.

She blends collaborative listening with evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients identify patterns, set realistic goals, and build momentum. Motivational Interviewing supports clients struggling with ambivalence, and Trauma-Focused methods guide recovery from past harms.

Annah encourages the small acts of courage it takes to begin therapy and partners with clients to tailor a plan that fits their values, circumstances, and desired outcomes.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead; this approach helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented method that examines thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems by teaching concrete strategies like cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers focused attention on processing traumatic experiences and developing coping tools to reduce the hold of past harms on daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Annah will work together with each person to assess needs, try methods that match goals, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so clients feel involved in shaping their care. Flexibility in techniques helps tailor work to individual preferences and changing circumstances.

Online therapy with this practitioner is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make appointments easier to fit into busy lives and reduce travel barriers. These formats support consistent access to a licensed professional, allow for varied ways to communicate based on comfort and style, and enable ongoing skill practice between sessions.
