About Anne
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings and on understanding how past patterns show up in current relationships.
Anne's background includes graduate training at Northwestern University and clinical study at The Family Institute at Northwestern University and The Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. She has lectured at Northwestern and served on faculty at Lake Forest College. She has been a Clinical Fellow at the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years.
In therapy she uses a mix of methods including emotionally-focused and narrative work alongside psychodynamic and systemic ideas. She also offers coaching-style support for people navigating life transitions and career shifts. When appropriate, sessions address family of origin issues and strategies for reconciliation.
People who want ongoing contact can use a subscription model that lets them message between sessions and schedule live meetings as needed.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds; online sessions use conversations to identify patterns and practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own pace; in remote sessions the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; online work often includes brief exercises and practical homework between meetings to reinforce changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Anne will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in on what's helping and adjusting the plan over time.
Discuss the practical arrangements before beginning therapy online. Confirm the current session options, fees, and appointment schedule, and raise any access needs or communication preferences. The aim is to understand the next steps and decide whether the proposed arrangements work for you.
