Anna has been an absolute anchor. With her guidance, I've navigated the choppy waters of grief with more grace than I ever thought possible. She's given me tools to cope, to find moments of peace amidst the turmoil, and to start rebuilding a life that feels like mine again. I'm so grateful for the heartfelt sessions, the tears we've shared (and there's been a fair few!), and the laughs that brought light back into my days. Every chat has felt like a step forward, and I couldn't have wished for a better co-pilot during this journey. So, if you're considering online therapy, I can't recommend BetterHelp enough. It's been a slice of solace when I needed it most, and my therapist? A true gem. Here's to healing, growing, and to the incredible folks who help us along the way. #BetterHelp #HealingJourney #GriefSupport
More about Anna
- 10 years' experience

- LMHC
Hi! My name is Anna Patterson and I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am also a Certified Grief Counselor. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and career challenges.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I also believe the therapeutic relationship is important and needs to be built on trust, so I commit to building a safe space for you to be heard and validated. My approach is integrative, which just means I use various therapies based upon your individual needs. I most often use cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, grief therapy, and relational therapy.
Finding a therapist to take this journey towards growth and healing can be challenging. It also takes courage. Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I would be honored to come alongside and work with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Anna is an inspiration on so many levels. She is an avid listener, deep thinker, and compassionate human. I’m grateful for her guidance and biblical wisdom.
Anna is a wonderful therapist, very good listener. She is never afraid or shy’s away of the things I need to talk about and she gives wonderful tools to use.
Anna is an amazing therapist. She listens and is amazing with prompting questions to help me with delving deeper into my problems and has great insight. She is always prepared and is good about communicating back to ensure accuracy in what she is understanding. I have been seeing her on and off for over a year and wouldn’t want anyone else.
Anna is incredibly compassionate and warm. She understands me and does an amazing job at helping me get to the root of my problems.
Anna is kind, compassionate and real. She is easy to talk to and helps lead me to solutions in addition to giving me take-away tools I can use. Just love her.
It doesn’t get better than Anna. Book today, such a blessing.
The short version is that Anna had a big part in saving me. At the lowest point of my life, she listened about my loss and truly cared, truly helped. She is an incredible support that I am eternally grateful for.
So far, Anna has been a great listener and has understood exactly what I’m going through.
I love Anna, she listens deeply and gives advice and is Godly. She is a great help and I’d recommend her for anyone looking to start therapy! <3
Anna is a warm, caring and experienced therapist. If you need someone to walk with you through the difficult experiences in your life, Anna not only listens to you attentively, she provides empathy, suggestions on how to proceed and prayer if you're in need. I don't feel like "a number" in her book.
Anna’s heart and expertise can calm the most stressed heart. She deeply cares, intensely listens, and has wisdom to benefit any. She is a gift and a talented therapist anyone would be blessed to be in her care. I am so grateful to have met her.
Anna makes me feel comfortable and listens to me like no one else has ever. She makes it feel like she has known me forever. This is my first attempt at counseling/therapy and Anna has never made me feel lost or like anything I am doing is wrong. I look forward to meeting with her every week, and appreciate her time SO MUCH.
Great counselor... great listener
I consider it a blessing to have found Anna Patterson through BetterHelp. She is a warm, caring and empathetic, person, as well as a capable and perceptive professional who can guide us through the hardships we encounter in life. One very special professional attribute she has is her experience as a grief counselor. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through loss.
Anna is incredible! I had such low expectations for this Better Help service, but getting to do video calls each week with Anna has greatly impacted my life. She is a great listener and always offers really helpful guidance. Her willingness to talk about faith and pray for me is also really appreciated. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Anna has such a calm, comforting energy. She truly helps me feel seen and understood, without ever feeling judged. I am incredibly grateful for the time we get to spend together and she's been a huge help for my mental health.
Anna has been incredibly helpful for me. We’ve only had a couple sessions so far but she eases my anxiety and I have been far more relaxed. I always look forward to our sessions and will continue to!
