About Anna
Anna VanEaton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also includes support for issues such as addiction, grief, and motivation.
She uses straightforward conversations to help clients sort through what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps and testing small changes that can reduce distress. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to address unhelpful thinking and build workable habits.
Anna also uses elements of dialectical behavior approaches to increase emotion regulation and distress tolerance. For people with trauma histories she incorporates approaches that aim to process traumatic memories and decrease their hold on daily life. Her style emphasizes listening, clear feedback, and planning concrete next steps between sessions.
She is based in Tennessee and brings long-term professional experience to common life problems such as caregiving stress, chronic health issues, family of origin concerns, and relationship conflict. She does not use texting for counseling, preferring session time for substantive conversation.
Practical matters such as scheduling are handled through her calendar, and she does not work on Fridays or weekends. People considering a first appointment are encouraged to complete the intake steps and pick a time that fits their routine.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works on reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories through structured processing. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and reviewing what worked between meetings so the plan can be adjusted. This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it may remove travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or reduce the need to be on camera. Those practical benefits help people keep sessions regular and apply new skills between appointments.CAreas of focus
