About Anna

Anna Van Fleet is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, depression, and life changes. She works in a direct, respectful way that puts the client's experience first.

Background and approach

Her approach is grounded in collaboration and practical steps clients can use between sessions. Anna believes people already carry strengths that can support change.

Sessions focus on identifying those strengths and on small, doable shifts in thinking and behavior. She uses clear tools to manage anxiety, mood, and day-to-day stressors so progress feels measurable.

Her work includes attention to communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness. She also helps people who struggle with loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.

Conversations are paced to fit each person, with time spent building skills and noticing progress. Anna has nine years of counseling experience and has provided teletherapy for several of those years.

She is licensed in Texas as an LPC, and she conducts sessions in English. Clients meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

The first step is a short matching questionnaire to connect on goals and scheduling. Anna supports people who want practical help and clear next steps as they work through life’s challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Anna integrates Gottman Method ideas for relationships and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. The Gottman Method offers concrete ways to notice communication patterns and practice new interactions, which can be useful in remote sessions where partners join from separate locations. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, offering a supportive space to name feelings and set goals at a comfortable pace.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT works well over video or phone because it includes clear exercises and brief homework that clients can report back on. These approaches are chosen together with the client so the plan fits personal goals and preferences rather than being imposed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video helps with nonverbal cues and extended conversations, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward without needing to travel.
