About Anna
Anna VanEaton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She greets each new client with steadiness and respect and encourages the small steps that start change.
She keeps sessions focused and direct. Anna creates a space where people can talk without feeling judged. She emphasizes practical strategies and clearer choices over long lectures. Her approach aims to help people manage emotions and make changes that fit their lives.
With 25 years of experience she has worked across many concerns. That experience includes helping people with addiction, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and issues tied to family of origin. She also addresses problems like communication breakdowns, control issues, codependency, and divorce and separation.
Anna draws on several therapy methods to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Sessions emphasize practical skills, attention to values, and processing painful memories where needed.
Her hours are posted on her calendar and she does not work on Fridays or weekends. She does not offer texting as a counseling method. If you decide to begin, the site matching process helps pair you and you can then schedule sessions according to listed times.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help when stress, anxiety, or low motivation get in the way of everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong reactions to stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing painful or traumatic memories through structured steps that reduce their emotional intensity. It is used when past events continue to cause distress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which methods match your goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine techniques over time. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Confirm the session options available with this therapist before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs, and allows the focus to stay on skills, values-based steps, and processing difficult memories without requiring extra time for commuting.
