About Anna

Anna Muirheid brings eight years of clinical experience to her work in Ohio. She is a licensed professional counselor clinical - LPCC and a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC. Anna focuses on helping people navigate grief, addictions, parenting concerns, career questions, and life transitions.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what feels hard right now. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals and small steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Anna uses techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and build more workable habits. She also draws on existential ideas to help people clarify values and meaning when life feels uncertain. Sessions are aimed at making concrete changes that fit each person’s daily life.

Conversations may include examining thoughts, trying new behaviors, and practicing acceptance of difficult feelings. Anna encourages curiosity and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She also brings experience supporting people who are autistic or identify with Asperger syndrome, adapting interventions to be clear and practical.

Anna explains tools in simple language and checks in often to make sure the approach matches each person’s needs. Parents and individuals who want a calm, practical guide through loss, change, or addiction-related struggles may find this style helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and to practice small changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for mood concerns, anxiety, and shifting unhelpful habits.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which focuses on accepting difficult emotions while taking actions that match what matters most. ACT can help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by painful thoughts or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try tools that fit their life. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or when leaving home is hard. The range of formats lets people pick what feels most practical for their routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
