About Annis
Annis Reyes Frias is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Her practice also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, life purpose, and self-love.
She focuses on practical steps clients can take day to day. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also helps people process hard events and build clearer communication habits. Meetings aim to reduce symptoms and give concrete coping tools to use between sessions.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and increase psychological flexibility. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client's experience. For traumatic memories she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and she offers hypnotherapy as another option some clients find useful.
Language options include English and Spanish. Her practice model emphasizes short-term skill building and longer-term processing when needed. The first sessions focus on understanding immediate concerns, setting priorities, and choosing approaches that fit practical life demands.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, exercises to try between sessions, and regular check-ins about progress. She aims to help people manage symptoms, improve communication, and regain a clearer sense of direction after major life shifts.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and uncertainty by building flexible responses to hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and gives clear techniques to change them, which is useful for depression and worry. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity through guided protocols.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist reviews current concerns, goals, and preferences together with the client. They will try methods that fit daily life and adjust as needed based on what helps most.
The specific session formats offered are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations without a long commute. They also let people choose shorter check-ins or longer processing sessions depending on what the week allows. The focus is on practical ways to use therapeutic tools in everyday routines, such as brief behavioral experiments between meetings and communication practice that can be tried between sessions.
