About Anna
Anna McIver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with over 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Anna also helps with anger, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and client-centered. She listens to what matters most and helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Anna draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
She has substantial experience supporting people through mood disorders, grief, chronic illness, and parenting stresses. Anna has also worked with fertility and pregnancy-related concerns and with individuals and couples trying to conceive. That background informs how she plans short-term and longer-term work.
In sessions she focuses on building clear communication, improving coping strategies, and addressing patterns in relationships. She encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions and reviews progress regularly. Anna practices from Maine and conducts work in English.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Anna commonly combines attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions.

Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right mix is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify goals and try approaches that fit the client's needs and preferences. That means adjusting techniques and pacing as they learn what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and review how those attempts went in the next meeting.
