Anna Sage, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Washington

About Anna

Anna Sage is a licensed counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and ADHD. She uses straightforward, practical talk to help people figure out what matters and take small steps toward better days. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on listening first and working together on realistic goals.

Anna trained as a peer specialist before becoming a clinical mental health counselor, and she brings that practical experience into sessions.

Background and approach

She holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials and has four years of clinical experience. Sessions are held in English and organized to fit busy schedules. In therapy she combines client-centered listening with skills-based methods.

That means the conversation centers on the person while also teaching tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Parents and family members often leave sessions with specific strategies to try between meetings. She also addresses related concerns like hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder.

Anna aims to reduce shame around seeking help and to make the work feel approachable. Progress is framed as steady effort and practical changes, not rapid fixes. Overall, she focuses on building a trusting relationship, identifying clear next steps, and teaching skills that fit everyday life.

The goal is to help families and individuals find manageable ways to cope and make lasting adjustments.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's concerns. The therapist creates space for people to describe what matters most and helps them make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and develop new habits for managing anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made and as practical needs emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue work between meetings. Using different formats, the therapist can provide short check-ins, teach coping skills, and review progress in ways that suit each household.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
