About Anna
Anna Ward Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who centers her work on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based perspectives.
Background and approach
She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood and panic concerns, as well as struggles with addiction, depression, and relationship or family challenges. Her approach emphasizes identifying each person’s strengths and building practical skills for emotional regulation and healthier patterns.
Anna blends goal-focused strategies with a respectful, collaborative stance that honors clients’ values and lived experience. She also weaves narrative ideas to help clients reframe their stories and practices from dialectical and mindfulness traditions to support self-awareness, forgiveness, and self-compassion.
Anna offers sessions by phone and video and invites prospective clients to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire to determine fit and availability.
Online Approaches That Build Skills and Insight
Anna integrates cognitive behavioral strategies and client-centered perspectives to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts, experiment with new behaviors, and move toward clearer goals. CBT techniques are practical and structured, often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and problematic patterns related to stress and addiction. Client-centered work complements this by prioritizing the person’s own goals and fostering acceptance, self-compassion, and problem exploration in a collaborative manner.She also draws from dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are needed. The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process, listening to each person’s history, preferences, and aims and then adapting methods over time so therapy aligns with what the client finds most helpful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice techniques between sessions while meeting from locations that work best for the client.
