About Anna

Anna Klosek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with 16 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency.

Her background includes an M.A. in Psychology and an Ed.S. in School Psychology from Marshall University, with additional postgraduate coursework in counseling. She spent many years working as a school psychologist and has experience in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and social service settings.

In session she uses a straightforward, strengths-focused style. She often brings cognitive behavioral techniques into conversations to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses client-centered principles to follow what the person needs most in the moment.

Trauma-focused elements are part of her work when past events are affecting present functioning. She has completed training that relates to trauma care and integrates those ideas with practical coping skills. When it fits the client, she is open to including prayer, scripture, or Christian perspectives as part of the counseling process.

She values collaboration and sets clear goals with the person she sees. To start, she asks about immediate concerns and daily routines, then develops small, manageable steps to try between sessions. Her approach aims to help people regain more control over stress, relationships, and everyday functioning.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Anna integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and letting the client's priorities guide sessions, which can help when people are overwhelmed by relationship demands or caregiver stress. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to test and change patterns that keep stress and anxiety active.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries small methods to see what helps. If trauma is a factor, trauma-focused techniques may be added and explained before they are used, and spiritual elements such as prayer or scripture can be included when the client wants that.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as session delivery options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on what feels most practical for their situation.
