About Anna
Anna Ward Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, family concerns, and depression. Anna also focuses on communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach combines client-centered work with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral methods. She uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help people manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm. Narrative techniques help people make sense of life changes and rewrite stories that feel stuck.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients identify strengths and small steps they can try between meetings. Treatment often includes learning emotion regulation skills, testing new ways of communicating, and practicing grounding or mindful exercises. Anna also supports people working through substance use concerns alongside emotional triggers.
She offers phone and video sessions rather than chat-based therapy. That format lets people fit sessions into busy schedules or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Anna asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Anna uses therapy methods in remote sessions
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on what matters most to the client, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify goals. This approach helps people who feel stuck after major life changes or who want to name a clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and worry about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will review goals, symptoms, and preferences together and recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist make adjustments over time so the plan fits real needs and day-to-day life.
Anna provides phone and video sessions rather than chat. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and can choose what fits your routine.
