About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve day-to-day functioning. Parents and caregivers will find straightforward guidance to handle parenting challenges and related life changes.
Anna draws from multiple therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to how thoughts and feelings affect behavior.
Background and approach
Her background includes training that brings a mind-body perspective to therapy. That training supports work on areas such as trauma, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses identity and intimacy-related issues in a direct, nonjudgmental way.
In a typical session she helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. She invites feedback and adjusts the plan as goals change. This makes therapy feel collaborative and focused on real-life results.
Anna completed a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling at Texas Wesleyan and holds additional graduate study in exercise physiology and holistic health. She practices in Texas and offers services in English, including sessions for international clients when appropriate.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Anna often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships, which can help with intimacy and relationship struggles.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's goals and pace. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single model to everyone.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to connect from different locations, including international clients. The variety of formats allows conversations, brief check-ins, or longer sessions depending on what a person needs.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
