Annie McFadden, LPC

Annie McFadden, LPC, welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn next. She speaks plainly and directly, and she meets each person where they are. Annie focuses on helping people sort through stress, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life changes. Annie has 18 years of experience in the mental health field and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Georgia. Much of her work was in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center, where she assessed and treated a wide range of mental health and behavioral concerns. She has supported people facing trauma, mood concerns, addiction, parenting strain, and family conflict. Her approach is integrative and practical. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to fit what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, real-life skills, and small changes that add up over time. Annie describes therapy as a partnership built on trust and honest communication. She blends clinical methods with a values-informed perspective to help people reconnect with what matters to them. The work can include talking, learning new ways to respond, and practicing brief exercises between sessions. People who choose Annie can expect steady, compassionate support aimed at improving daily functioning and relationships. If someone is wondering whether she may be a good fit, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to see how the partnership feels.

How Annie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by encouraging small, value-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and building stronger emotional connections, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Deciding on an approach is part of the work. Annie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients test different methods to see what feels most helpful. She tailors techniques to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let them practice skills between meetings in their usual routines. Licensed professionals use online work to teach skills, process emotions, and set achievable goals while helping clients maintain therapy as part of everyday life.
