Great listener and helps me work through my issues. Anna has been an outstanding therapist and my mental health and relationship is better than ever!

Reviewed June 2024

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

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 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.
