Anchanese Levison

Anchanese Levison is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, career questions, and relationship strains. She welcomes people who want practical support for grief, trauma, anger, addiction, or parenting challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She uses conversation to map what matters most to each person. Anchanese draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s priorities central. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and build coping routines. Her background includes twelve years working in psychiatric residential treatment, college programs, and community treatment settings. That range of experience means she has helped people from many different backgrounds handle common life stresses and mood concerns. In sessions she combines problem-solving with practical skills practice. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas shape short-term plans and next steps. Over time the work aims to improve daily habits, communication, and self-direction. Her approach is straightforward: listen carefully, set achievable goals, and teach skills people can use right away. People who want help with career direction, self-esteem, or compassion fatigue often find this mix useful. If someone prefers a steady, skills-based approach, she may be a good match.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions can keep that central focus by helping the therapist and client set clear goals and check progress each week.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. In remote sessions those skills are introduced through coaching, practice assignments, and brief in-session skills drills to use between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and to bodily signals. A therapist can guide simple mindfulness exercises during a session and suggest short daily practices to help with anxiety and rumination.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the environment where they live and work. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to cover the same goal-setting, skill teaching, and problem-solving that happen in person.
