About Anna

Anna McIver is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support for stress, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults looking for clear help.

Anna uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early connections shape present relationships. She combines that with client-centered care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build tools people can use day to day.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize emotional attunement and collaborative goal setting. In the room she listens first, then helps identify small, realistic steps toward change. People can expect skill practice for mood and anxiety, strategies for coping with grief, and support around fertility or pregnancy-related stress.

She also addresses codependency, body image, and issues around guilt and shame. Anna has substantial experience with mood disorders, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. She brings a calm, compassionate style and focuses on building rapport so people feel understood.

Her approach is practical rather than lecturing, with space for both feelings and planning. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and scheduling follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support

How Anna’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Anna integrates attachment-based ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people understand relationship patterns and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current relationships and helps people shift interaction patterns that cause distress. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and supporting each person's goals. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss what feels useful and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to one set plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and practice skills between sessions with licensed professionals.
