Background and approach

She addresses anticipatory grief, ambiguous loss, and changing family roles that caregiving can bring. Sessions typically include clear, goal-focused work. Anne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that matter to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. Her work also touches on aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life conversations, and the emotional fallout of long-term caregiving. She helps people talk through guilt, shame, and forgiveness as they face changing responsibilities and losses.

Anne aims to be calm, steady, and direct. She helps people set manageable steps, practice self-compassion, and find moments of relief. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Anne’s approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match what matters to the person, which can help with grief and caregiving stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety and low mood.

Deciding what approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your situation, goals, and preferences, and suggest which methods to try. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and the therapist will check in and adapt the plan together with the client.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Some formats let people have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when needed, while others are better for longer, reflective conversations. Talk with the therapist about the practical options so sessions can fit into everyday life and caregiving routines.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
