About Anne

Anne Douglas is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, and anger. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps to cope better day to day.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. Then she and the client set simple goals and track small changes. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to teach skills people can use between sessions.

Background and approach

Her background includes graduate training and long experience in clinical settings and teaching. She has worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. Anne also supports people facing life transitions, career questions, body image concerns, chronic illness, and attachment difficulties.

Therapy blends methods to fit each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-focused work helps people understand patterns in relationships.

Narrative and emotionally-focused ideas are drawn on to make sense of personal stories and feelings. Online and phone work are part of her practice. Clients may use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The focus is on creating useful, doable steps so people leave sessions with practical ways to handle anger, stress, or relationship problems. She structures work collaboratively. Goals are decided together and adjusted as progress is made.

The aim is to help people feel more capable and move toward better daily functioning.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches used online and what they do

Anne draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. She also uses attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions and closeness. Emotionally-focused ideas are woven in to help name feelings and improve interactions in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over the first sessions she adjusts techniques based on how someone responds, so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you read facial expressions and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, coaching between meetings, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain regular progress.
