Practical, steady support for life and relationship struggles
About Anne
Anne George is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to conversations about addiction, relationships, family stress, and parenting.
Background and approach
Anne centers the person in front of her and treats each situation as unique. She works in straightforward, practical ways.
Sessions focus on small, usable steps clients can try between meetings. Anne helps people name what matters, reduce patterns that cause pain, and build on existing strengths.
Her background includes work with eating and sleeping concerns, anger and coping with major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Many clients come wanting clearer communication and better emotional balance. Anne uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s goals.
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools for thinking and behavior change, attachment ideas for close relationships, and acceptance-based practices for managing hard feelings. These methods are adapted to the situation at hand rather than applied rigidly.
People who look for a calm, practical guide tend to find her helpful. She aims to create a space where clients can try new strategies and learn from what works.
Anne encourages steady progress and respects each person's pace.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with issues like life changes, addiction, and depression.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It can be useful for people struggling with communication, intimacy-related issues, and family conflict by helping them understand and change recurring interaction patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will adjust methods over time rather than rely on a single technique.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or mobility is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into work schedules, caregiving routines, and other life demands.
