About Anne

Anne Fox is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with twenty years of experience. She focuses on common but painful problems like stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. Her tone is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent.

She listens first, then helps set clear goals together. Sessions are tailored to what each person wants to change, with practical next steps between meetings when helpful.

Background and approach

Anne emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping conversations focused on results. Her approach draws on several methods to match the situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.

Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Internal Family Systems offers a way to understand different parts of oneself and reduce internal conflict. Over two decades she has supported people dealing with complex life stressors including adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, mood and personality concerns, and substance-related problems.

She frames treatment around what matters most to the client and adjusts methods as needs evolve. Sessions are offered in English and provided through a mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. Online sessions use that lens to look at how adults relate to partners and children and to change those patterns over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice upsetting thoughts and test new behaviors. In virtual meetings CBT often means setting small experiments and reviewing results together.

Anne combines approaches to suit each person. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Figuring out the best approach is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and new concerns appear.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue work between appointments. Licensed professionals can use the different formats to keep momentum, share resources, and check in on practice tasks between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
