About Anna
Anna Sage works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, ADHD, or family strain. She introduces a calm, listening presence so clients can talk through worries and start making small changes. Anna holds an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she practices in Washington.
Anna came to counseling after time as a peer specialist and then training as a clinical mental health counselor. She has four years of experience in direct clinical work helping adults with mental health and substance use concerns. Her background gives her both lived-perspective and clinical understanding of the challenges people bring into therapy.
In sessions she uses practical tools from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means you can expect meetings that focus on your goals, skill practice for mood and behavior, and steady problem solving rather than long lectures.
Anna also pays attention to specific life situations like postpartum depression, hospice and end-of-life counseling, hoarding, and seasonal affective disorder. She helps people sort priorities, create manageable next steps, and build routines that fit real life.
She describes therapy as a collaborative effort. Clients set the pace and Anna offers clear methods to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. To begin, people are invited to share what's most pressing and work toward practical shifts they can maintain over time.
How Anna Uses Client-Centered Care and Skills Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people clarify their own goals. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the client and move at a pace they set. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance with skill training in areas like emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can help with intense emotions and substance use struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a client's needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so therapy stays relevant and practical.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer barriers to showing up for a meeting.

Online work can make it simpler to check in during a break, practice skills in real life, or reduce travel time, depending on the format you choose and what works for your routine.
