Annie McFadden

Annie McFadden is a licensed professional counselor who helps people navigate stress, career transitions, relationship struggles, and parenting strain. She works with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, ADHD, and other challenges that disrupt daily life. Annie brings 18 years of experience in mental health to each appointment.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She treats therapy as a partnership and focuses on clear communication, honesty, and respect. Sessions aim to identify day-to-day patterns, set realistic goals, and try strategies that fit each person’s life.

Annie uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness, and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen important relationships. These tools are chosen to match what a person needs right now.

She has experience working in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center and has supported children, adolescents, families, and adults in that setting. Annie is moving from a clinical director role into private practice in Georgia and continues to bring that community-focused experience to her work.

People who choose Annie can expect empathetic listening, straightforward suggestions, and a focus on practical steps. She aims to help people feel more capable in their daily roles at work, in relationships, and at home.

How Annie’s approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about their values and take small steps toward them. It combines practical actions with willingness to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that cause trouble, then trying concrete changes to improve day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Annie will work together with each person to figure out which approaches make sense for their goals and situation. That collaborative process includes checking what’s working and adjusting tools as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering options that use less bandwidth when needed. Licensed professionals can still use these approaches effectively through remote sessions while focusing on practical steps that translate into everyday life.
