About Annie

Annie McFadden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and other life disruptions.

Background and approach

She offers a collaborative, integrative approach that draws on evidence-informed methods to address both immediate symptoms and longer-standing patterns that interfere with well-being. Her practice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and client-centered strategies, along with emotion-focused and mindfulness techniques when appropriate.

Annie has worked across community mental health settings, gaining experience with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and changes brought on by separation or loss. She emphasizes meeting clients where they are and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect a therapeutic relationship grounded in honesty, respect, and mutual communication. Annie frames therapy as a partnership aimed at fostering greater self-understanding, healthier coping, and clearer decision-making, using practical skills and reflective work to support meaningful change.

Integrative therapy approaches for online care

Annie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to encourage values-based action and help clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. Client-Centered Therapy is another cornerstone of her work, focusing on empathic listening and creating a supportive space that honors the client’s perspective and pace.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Annie discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time so the therapeutic plan reflects what is most useful for their situation. She emphasizes partnership, mutual communication, and tailoring interventions to fit individual needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These remote options make it easier to attend regularly, try different session styles, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
