About Annamarie

Dr. Annamarie Cochrane offers calm, steady support for people worried about stress, anxiety, or parenting challenges. She keeps conversations practical and straightforward.

She listens first, then helps clients find steps that fit their life. Many people come for help with confidence, motivation, or coping after trauma. Dr.

Cochrane is licensed as a psychologist in Georgia (GA Psychologist PSY002220) and North Carolina (NC Psychologist 5730) and has 26 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

Her work is rooted in client-centered therapy, which means she follows the person rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions focus on the concerns the person brings and on building strengths that already exist. In a typical visit she will ask about what matters most to the client, listen for patterns, and help set practical goals.

For parents, that often means prioritizing small, repeatable changes that reduce stress at home. For people recovering from trauma or panic, the focus may be on pacing, safety, and building steady coping skills. Dr.

Cochrane aims to create a supportive space where clients feel heard and can try out new ways of handling problems. She encourages realistic steps rather than quick fixes. Progress is measured by what the client notices improving in daily life.

Therapy can include conversations by phone or video, and text-based check-ins when appropriate. She uses an approach that matches each person’s needs, pacing work to the individual rather than rushing change.

Client-centered care delivered online

Client-centered therapy places the client's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide which goals feel most important. This approach often helps with stress, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and motivation by focusing on what the person already does well.

Because her work is collaborative, finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape sessions around those priorities. The plan can change over time as the client notices what helps and what does not.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexible options. Video and phone let people have real-time conversations, while chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain contact when in-person meetings are difficult.

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.
