My name is Anna. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of Sunny Florida. Social Workers focus on changing facets of your environment to elect behavioral change. I specialize in working with caregivers facing life transition issues and caregiver stress. My experience is well-rounded in Play Therapy for children/caregivers, palliative & hospice and their caregivers, and adults facing crises.

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

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me to create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.

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

Having worked with caregivers for the past 7 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods

Motivational Interviewing

There are several reasons why motivational interviewing is a widely used form of mental health therapy, including: Building the client's self-confidence and trust in themselves Helping clients take responsibility for themselves and their actions Lowering the chance of future relapse Preparing clients to become more receptive to treatment Showing clients that they have the power to change their lives themselves Teaching clients to take responsibility for themselves Motivational interviewing is especially beneficial to people who are initially resistant to start

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT works by identifying, tackling, and changing unhelpful thinking so that your mindset, behaviors, and overall well-being improve with practice. When you change the way you feel about specific situations, for example, it will likely be easier to adapt your behaviors in the future. In mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, substance use, phobias, and many others, negative thinking takes many forms, like: thinking in black and white overgeneralizing ignoring the positive and focusing on the negative catastrophizing
