About Anne
Anne Douglas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addictions, codependency, and life transitions. She also helps with parenting concerns, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, and career or self-esteem struggles.
She trained at Northwestern University and The Family Institute at Northwestern University, and completed additional work at The Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. Anne has taught and supervised students in college settings and has been a Clinical Fellow at the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years.
In sessions she blends several approaches. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused and client-centered methods guide conversations about feelings and relationship repair.
Anne describes her work as collaborative. She helps clients develop practical skills for saying no, setting boundaries, and resolving family conflict. For people leaving relationships she offers a stepwise method she developed that addresses understanding what happened, holding hope, imagining alternatives, and learning to let go.
Her online practice has included live camera sessions, phone sessions, and email chat with ongoing email contact. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when scheduling. To begin, users follow the platform’s matching steps and arrange a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Anne commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior. This approach focuses on connection and helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's experience and priorities. That method supports exploring feelings and making decisions at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and coping strategies.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and specific issues and then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan matches what the person needs and wants.
This therapist's past online practice has included live camera sessions, live phone sessions, and email chat plus ongoing email contact. If you want to know which session formats are currently offered, confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or provide phone options when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to continue regular talk therapy and skills practice without requiring travel.
