I am Anna McDonald, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to assisting individuals in overcoming life's obstacles through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. With more than ten years of experience, my focus is on online therapy for anxiety, stress management, and postpartum mental health. Fluent in English and Spanish, I offer a nurturing space where you can freely communicate in your preferred language.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial sessions, we will build a foundation of trust and understanding. We will discuss your goals and create customized strategies to address stress, anxiety, or any other issues you may have. My approach is collaborative and personalized to meet your individual needs, empowering you to gain clarity and confidence.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having lived in different parts of the world, I have direct experience with knowing that everyone's story is unique. I have been described as being a really good listener. I strive to make you feel comfortable so that you feel like you are talking with a good friend.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I thrive when collaborating with professionals like you—dedicated individuals balancing demanding careers alongside the joys and challenges of parenthood. Many of my clients seek support for anxiety, postpartum depression, and navigating complex relationships. Together, we work on transforming challenges into opportunities for personal growth, improving your well-being and relationships.
