Anna Dotey

Hi, I'm Anna! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and difficult life transitions. I also work with couples and families who want to improve communication, work through conflict, and build stronger, healthier relationships.

I understand that life's challenges can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can openly share your experiences and feel genuinely heard. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and solution-focused. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore what's been getting in the way, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident and in control of your life.

I believe therapy works best when we work together as a team. You bring your experiences, concerns, and goals, and I bring support, perspective, and practical tools to help you move forward. I take the time to understand your individual needs and tailor our work to what matters most to you, rather than using the same approach for everyone.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based approaches. Depending on your needs, our work may focus on managing anxiety or depression, processing difficult experiences, improving communication, navigating relationship or family challenges, or building healthier coping skills. My goal is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself while developing tools you can use to create meaningful changes in everyday life.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and better understand what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about the challenges you've been experiencing, what's most important to you right now, and what you'd like to accomplish. You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin. We'll work together to identify goals that feel realistic and meaningful to you.

You can expect me to be open-minded, supportive, and actively engaged throughout the process. I'll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and help you explore new perspectives and practical solutions. Whether you're working through personal challenges or trying to strengthen your relationships, my goal is for you to feel heard, empowered, and better equipped to navigate life's difficulties with confidence and clarity.
