About Anne
Anne Kaeding is a licensed clinical professional counselor who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She works with people dealing with grief, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
She uses a tailored approach that fits each person's situation instead of a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations in sessions are respectful and compassionate, with the goal of identifying small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue when relevant. With eight years of clinical experience and an Illinois LCPC license, Anne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients sort priorities, build coping tools, and regain motivation when depression or loss makes action hard.
Therapy plans evolve as progress is made and needs shift. Anne is familiar with additional family-related topics including adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin concerns. She also works on communication problems, commitment worries, and managing impulsivity and isolation.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to help people leave sessions with clearer next steps, whether that means short-term coaching, developing coping skills, or deeper therapeutic work.
Practical therapeutic approaches and online care
Anne uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and problem solving. One common approach involves working on coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties by teaching concrete tools for managing symptoms and improving daily routine. This helps when worry or low mood makes it hard to get through each day.Another approach centers on grief and loss or major life changes, where conversations help name emotions, process difficult events, and create a step-by-step plan for adapting. For parenting-related concerns she offers guidance aimed at improving communication, setting routines, and handling challenging behaviors with consistency and calm.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needs change. That collaborative process helps make sure the work fits each person’s situation and priorities.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to share tools, coach through skills, and support progress across everyday life.
