Anne Douglas, LMFT

Anne Douglas is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and trauma-related issues. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday strategies clients can try between meetings. Anne blends relational ideas with cognitive tools so people can change unhelpful patterns and improve how they connect with others.

She trained at Northwestern University and taught a large undergraduate psychology course there. Anne has served on college faculty and supervised students, and she has been a Clinical Fellow at the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years.

In therapy she uses attachment-based work, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused ideas, and elements of Jungian and narrative approaches. That mix lets her match methods to what each person needs and prefers. She also offers coaching-style help when clients want focused, practical steps.

Anne offers live camera sessions, live phone sessions, and email chat sessions, along with ongoing email contact. Before booking, clients are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling details through the Start Therapy process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships influence feelings and behavior. Online conversations explore patterns in close relationships and help people build safer, more dependable ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online sessions CBT can offer concrete strategies and exercises people use between meetings to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which methods fit best for the issue and the client’s goals. That collaborative process includes checking how each approach feels in practice and adjusting as needed.

Anne has described offering live camera sessions, live phone sessions, and email chat sessions, along with ongoing email contact. When session formats are not spelled out here, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during busy days, and let people use tools and exercises between meetings. It also makes consistent follow-up by email possible for clients who want more frequent feedback.
