About Anna

Anna Alberti is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on practical tools for stress management, motivation for change, and goal setting while attending to issues like self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her orientation combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills.

She also brings experience addressing situational and life-cycle challenges such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, cancer, blended family issues, and divorce or separation. Working from Florida, Anna uses psychoeducation and a holistic perspective that considers mind-body-spirit balance.

She frames therapy as a collaborative exploration of needs and priorities, guiding clients to clarify goals and practical steps toward better emotional balance and healthier relationships.

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions typically include practical exercises and homework to build skills for everyday challenges.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their goals and values at their own pace. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness techniques are used to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong feelings get in the way of daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method. This collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan that evolves over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances.
