About Anya
Anya Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer next moves rather than abstract theory.
She sees strengths in the life someone has already built and uses those strengths to address current problems. In conversation she helps people name what feels most urgent and then breaks larger problems into manageable steps. That can mean testing a small change between sessions or trying a different way to think about a recurring worry.
Anya draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also uses mindfulness practices to help slow overwhelming reactions, and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and increase commitment to change. These approaches are used to target stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, grief, and trauma reactions.
Her additional focus areas include caregiving strain, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family and communication problems, cancer and hospice related stress, immigration issues, and first responder stress. She also addresses challenges such as infidelity, isolation, and divorce-related concerns.
Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. People who feel stuck after a life change - a shift in work, a relationship break, or health challenges - will find a therapist who helps plan clear next steps and track small progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions keep problems going. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful relationship patterns by testing new behaviors and ways of thinking. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and calm, helping people notice reactions without immediately acting on them. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps clarify what matters most and strengthens motivation to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, reviewing how it feels, and adjusting direction together rather than committing to any single method at the start.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks. Some formats are simpler for low-bandwidth situations or for people who prefer brief phone check-ins instead of video. Ask about the available formats so sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits day-to-day needs.
