About Anne
Anne Douglas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family concerns, grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career strain, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Anne also lists work around attachment and family of origin issues among her areas of focus.
Her approach combines several psychotherapy styles. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds influence current behavior. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-Focused and Jungian perspectives are part of how she helps people name emotions and the meanings those emotions hold.
Anne trained at Northwestern University and the Family Institute at Northwestern, and she completed additional study at the Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. She has taught and supervised students, and has served as a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for more than 20 years.
In session she combines practical skills, conversation about family history, and reflective work about roles and recurring patterns. She can offer coaching-style guidance alongside psychotherapy when clients want concrete next steps. Anne emphasizes collaboration in setting goals and developing strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Her work includes helping people process relationship endings, resolve recurring family conflict, and improve communication. For parents she offers guidance on challenges that come up during parenting and family transitions.

How Anne’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present-day reactions and closeness. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring roles and practice new ways of relating to partners or family members. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In video or phone conversations Anne can teach simple CBT tools for anxiety, sleep, and mood that you can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne will discuss goals, past experiences, and preferences to decide whether attachment-focused exploration, CBT skill-building, or emotionally-focused conversations make the most sense. That choice is a collaborative decision made early in therapy and revisited over time.
The biography indicates that she has offered live camera sessions, live phone sessions, and email chat sessions. If you are unsure which format fits your routine, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work or caregiving schedules, reducing travel time, and keeping check-ins brief when needed. Anne can also include ongoing email contact when that fits the plan for weekly or more frequent work.
