About Anna

Anna VanEaton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses issues such as addiction, grief, and family of origin patterns that affect adult life.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and what can be changed. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Anna draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values.

Anna also integrates client-centered approaches and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. That can mean practicing grounding and emotion regulation skills, challenging unhelpful thinking, or using structured processing for painful memories. She explains options and collaborates with each person on what feels most useful.

Appointments are scheduled during weekday hours; she does not work Fridays or weekends. Session logistics and scheduling are handled through the site's scheduling tools and a short matching questionnaire. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

People who want to address how family roles and expectations still shape daily decisions often find this focus helpful. The first session is used to map current concerns, set priorities, and agree on practical steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that reflect those values. It often suits issues like anxiety and low motivation by focusing on behavior change rather than just changing thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process painful memories and reduce their emotional charge when that is part of a person's needs.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then use one or more methods in collaboration. That means trying simple techniques, noticing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Session formats and exact logistics are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. The practical focus of CBT and ACT transfers well to virtual sessions because they include homework, skills practice, and clear check-ins that fit into everyday routines.
