About Anne

Anne Borges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and struggles with motivation. She focuses on helping clients name what feels wrong and find clear steps forward.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first and then uses evidence-based tools to address problems like depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and substance concerns.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings to manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning. Anne draws from client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on each person's goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

These methods are taught in everyday language and practiced in session. She has supported people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, ADHD, and issues such as codependency, communication breakdowns, and control struggles. Anne helps clients develop clearer boundaries, healthier routines, and stronger coping skills.

Starting therapy with her includes setting practical goals and tracking small wins. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is steady, compassionate, and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people regain more control over their lives.

Clinical approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, accepting relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead. In practice this means sessions focus on what feels most important to the person and on building trust before moving to skills work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches ways to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or disrupted sleep. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to apply new habits between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving day-to-day coping; it is useful for repeated mood swings, impulsivity, and problems with anger or self-control.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify which methods fit your goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Clients often combine elements from different approaches to match their situation and needs.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for busy families and for people who prefer to meet without traveling. Practical benefits include scheduling convenience, being able to practice skills in real situations, and maintaining contact between sessions through messaging when that option is used.

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.
