About Anne
Anne Ethier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Her practice also addresses attachment questions, body image, codependency, communication and issues around guilt and shame.
Anne draws on a long background in health and wellness that predates her counseling license. She brings together cognitive work and body-focused methods to help people notice how feelings and physical sensations link to familiar patterns. Sessions look at what happens in the moment and how that connects with past experiences.
Her approach includes somatic awareness and elements of Hakomi therapy to help clients recognize automatic responses and learn new ways of reacting. That can mean practicing short in-session experiments, tracking bodily signals, and using gentle inquiry to name what comes up.
Anne also works with people who want to improve connection and trust in close relationships. She guides conversations toward clearer communication and practical steps to rebuild safety between partners. Work with relationship concerns still centers on each person’s experience and choices.
Practical goals in sessions often include learning to regulate intense feelings, setting firmer boundaries, reducing compulsive behaviors around substances or food, and shifting self-critical thoughts. She asks clients to notice small changes and tests what helps in everyday life.

How sessions work
How Anne’s approaches translate to online work
Anne uses evidence-based techniques that combine thinking work with body-centered awareness. Somatic awareness involves noticing bodily signals and breath to recognize how stress and emotion show up in the body; it helps with anxiety, trauma responses, and intense feelings. Hakomi-informed work uses mindful attention to present-moment experience and gentle experiments to reveal habitual patterns and change them over time; it can support shifting long-standing relational and codependent behaviors.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review current concerns, goals, and how the client prefers to work. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what actually helps in daily life rather than assuming one fixed method up front.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting therapy into a busy week and removing travel time so check-ins can be shorter when needed. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online meetings let them practice new skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into discussion more quickly. Licensed professionals can adapt body-focused awareness and mindful experiments to a remote setting by guiding attention and simple practices that suit the client’s environment.
