Anna Sage

Anna Sage is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, ADHD, and related concerns. Her manner is direct and supportive, and she aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable.

Anna draws on several practical methods to guide sessions. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try small, useful changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are included when emotion regulation and coping strategies are needed.

Her background includes work as a peer specialist and four years as a clinical counselor, giving her experience with substance use and mental health concerns. She has supported people through grief and hospice and end-of-life issues as part of that work. Anna emphasizes clear goals, steady steps, and honest conversation rather than jargon or long assessments.

Sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing. That can mean stabilizing intense feelings, reducing anxiety, managing attention and daily routines, or making safer choices around substance use. She also helps people address hoarding behavior, postpartum depression, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) when these come up.

People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The approach is collaborative, with plans adjusted as needs change.

How these approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to each person. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward goals they choose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling around work or childcare. It also lets people meet with licensed professionals without traveling to an office. Confirm the current session options before booking so the logistics match your needs.
