About Anna
Anna Bruno is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing family strain, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress, and those adjusting to big life changes. Her practice also includes support for parenting concerns, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Before clinical practice she completed a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She spent internship time at programs serving autistic children and adults, and later worked extensively with people who have developmental and intellectual disabilities. Her background includes roles that focused on caregiving stress and support for parents navigating complex systems.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. She helps people set clear, actionable steps toward goals. Sessions often include talking through current problems, identifying small next steps, and checking progress over time. She describes herself as a sounding board and consultant during periods of change.
Anna has experience helping people clarify life purpose and manage workplace or relationship strain. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, disability, or sensory impairments. Much of her work centers on everyday problem solving rather than medical diagnosis.
She offers services in English and practices from Illinois. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many of Anna Bruno's practices draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete steps and problem solving. One common approach helps people set clear goals and break them into manageable tasks, which can reduce overwhelm and make progress visible. This method is useful for career decisions, parenting plans, and coping with life changes. Another helpful technique centers on skills for stress and anxiety management, such as paced breathing, activity scheduling, and short behavioral experiments. These tools aim to reduce daily distress and improve functioning in work or family life. Both approaches emphasize practical exercises you can try between sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and together you will decide which techniques to try first. That collaboration helps match methods to what is realistic for your day-to-day life. Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking. When formats are unspecified, check options so sessions fit your routine. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments, or prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online work can make it simpler to continue therapy through life transitions without major schedule disruption.CAreas of focus
