About Anne
Anne Douglas is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addictions, and life changes. She also supports concerns around parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, and career questions. Anne combines practical guidance with attentive listening to help people move forward.
She trained at Northwestern University and the Family Institute at Northwestern, and completed further study at the Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. Anne has taught and supervised students in college settings and served as a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years. Her work draws on a broad clinical background developed over decades of practice.
Anne blends several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-focused work to look at relationship patterns, cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally focused methods to help people reconnect with their feelings. She also brings narrative and Jungian ideas into sessions when they fit the problem at hand.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration. Anne and the client set goals together and pick practical steps to try between sessions. She offers coaching elements for people who want more structured support in meeting life goals and navigating transitions.
Online options have been part of her practice for years, including live camera, live phone, and email chat sessions plus ongoing email contact. Prospective clients should confirm available formats and scheduling when they start the process.
How Anne’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people change repeating patterns in partnerships or family ties.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own solutions to issues like grief, stress, or self-esteem struggles.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more constructive responses. It often suits anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns where clear strategies can make a practical difference.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne will talk with each person about goals, try ideas together, and adjust methods as progress is made. That collaboration helps match techniques to what actually helps the client in daily life.
Many people find online work easier to fit into busy schedules because sessions avoid travel and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Anne’s profile includes live camera, live phone, and email chat sessions plus ongoing email contact, but prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to check in more often and keep momentum between visits.
