About Annamarie
Dr. Annamarie Cochrane meets people where they are and helps them find clearer footing. She works with adults who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by parenting demands, or struggling with anger and low self-esteem.

She holds psychology licenses in Georgia and North Carolina and brings 26 years of professional experience to her work. She approaches sessions from a client-centered therapy perspective, which means she listens closely and follows each person's goals rather than imposing a fixed plan. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and on practical next steps that fit everyday life.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through hard things. The therapist emphasizes understanding each person’s story and building on existing strengths. She offers steady support while people try new ways of coping and relating.
Dr. Cochrane pays attention to common family and aging concerns and to anxiety presentations such as panic and social phobia. She also addresses the effects of sexual assault and post-traumatic stress when those issues appear in sessions. Her experience spans a wide range of life stresses and transitions.
Taking the first step can feel risky. Dr. Cochrane aims to make that step easier by listening, validating concerns, and helping clients plan manageable changes. People who want a collaborative, strengths-focused approach may find her helpful.
How client-centered work fits into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the client says, asks clarifying questions, and helps people identify their own goals. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and self-esteem concerns.For people recovering from trauma or grappling with panic and social anxiety, the therapist emphasizes empathy and building trust at a pace the client sets. That steady, nonjudgmental stance helps when dealing with past abuse or ongoing stressors, because it centers the client's experience rather than prescribing fixed techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different strategies and adjusting the plan over time so sessions match what helps most.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific online or phone options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that's helpful. Therapists and licensed professionals can explain which format will best support the client's goals during the initial scheduling conversation.
