About Anne
Anne Douglas is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on a blend of therapeutic traditions to address intimacy concerns, parenting and attachment issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, as well as concerns around self-esteem, career, eating and sleeping, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice also includes work with LGBT clients and a variety of specific focus areas such as body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and communication or control difficulties. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based and client-centered perspectives alongside emotion-focused and Jungian ideas, tailoring strategies to each person’s needs.
Anne’s background includes graduate training and teaching experience, clinical mentorship by family therapy theorists, and long-standing involvement with professional associations. She offers flexible online session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, and organizes treatment collaboratively so clients learn practical skills and self-advocacy while working toward their goals.
Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Anne often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered principles to meet online client needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns formed in early relationships and helps clients build healthier ways of relating and responding in current relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a supportive environment where clients’ goals and pace guide the work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is worked out together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific concerns presented, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which help make scheduling more flexible and therapy more accessible for people with busy lives or mobility limits. These options allow ongoing, practical support and easier follow-up between sessions, and they let therapists and clients focus on skill practice, emotional processing, and relationship work in ways that fit each client’s routine.
