About Anne

Anne Fox is an LMFT based in California who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. She draws on two decades of clinical experience to create an individualized plan grounded in respect and empathy.

Background and approach

Anne frames therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring discussions and interventions to each person's goals and life circumstances. Her work integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered perspectives, with additional use of psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems when helpful.

She has supported clients facing a broad range of concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, mood and personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic, substance-related problems, and family of origin difficulties. Anne emphasizes practical steps and thoughtful exploration to address both immediate symptoms and underlying relational patterns.

Starting therapy with Anne involves a clear, person-focused approach: she meets clients where they are, listens for what matters most, and collaborates on a treatment plan designed to move toward the changes the client wants to see.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Anne integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical techniques for managing anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, helping clients address family conflicts, trauma, and parenting challenges by strengthening emotional understanding and relational strategies.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances to determine whether CBT techniques, attachment-focused exploration, or a blend of methods will best support progress. Clients participate in shaping the plan so the work aligns with their needs and comfort level.

Online sessions provide flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or manage care from different locations within California. These formats allow for ongoing therapeutic work, practical skill-building, and reflective conversation without requiring travel, helping clients sustain momentum between sessions.
