About Anne

Anne George is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of clinical experience working in California. She draws on a blend of evidence-based methods to support people navigating addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and issues such as low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Anne emphasizes collaborative work that centers each person’s lived experience and strengths while addressing practical obstacles and emotional patterns. Her approach respects the client as the expert on their life and focuses on building skills, insight, and resilience.

She combines acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive and behavioral tools, and attachment-informed perspectives to help clients shift unhelpful habits, manage emotions, and improve communication. Sessions aim to empower clients to take courageous steps toward meaningful, sustainable change while receiving steady professional support.

Anne brings calm encouragement and practical coaching to complex situations including grief over family separation, codependency, chronic health concerns, and career transitions. She offers services in English for adults in California, and her practice adapts therapeutic techniques to fit each person’s goals and day-to-day realities.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to notice and accept difficult thoughts and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that shape how people connect and communicate, and it can be useful for addressing intimacy and family-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and exercises accordingly so the plan evolves as progress is made. This partnership helps ensure techniques feel relevant and achievable for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit work on relationships, addiction recovery, emotional regulation, and coping skills into a busy life. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support, skill coaching, and real-time problem solving without requiring travel, which can help maintain continuity during periods of change or stress.
