About Annah

Annah Courson is an LPC based in Alabama who brings 23 years of clinical experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues related to self-esteem and intimacy.

Background and approach

Annah also addresses sleeping difficulties, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of anxiety-related presentations such as panic, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Her style centers on recognizing each client as the expert on their own life while offering strategies and support to strengthen existing resources.

Annah draws from a mix of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles, to tailor practical tools and coping strategies to individual needs. She acknowledges that starting therapy requires courage and aims to make the beginning of that process as welcoming and doable as possible for each person who reaches out.

Practical therapeutic approaches you can use online



Annah frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill-building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and obsessive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting the client’s own goals, creating space for people to explore their values and strengths without judgment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify priorities, test strategies, and adjust techniques based on what fits best for their needs and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel practical and meaningful for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to fit therapeutic work into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules change, and use formats that match their comfort level and communication style.
