About Anne
Anne DeFederico is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with eight years of practice. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with client-centered and narrative approaches to help people make sense of major life changes. Her manner is calm and direct so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She often supports people facing grief and loss, and helps them process feelings tied to illness, aging, and hospice or end-of-life concerns.
Background and approach
She also addresses trauma and abuse, helping clients name hard memories and find ways to live with them. Sessions emphasize building self-esteem and identifying what motivates each person. Anne introduces legacy work with older adults to acknowledge life achievements and personal worth.
She also helps caregivers cope with stress and supports those dealing with chronic pain and long-term illness. Conversations can include guilt, shame, forgiveness, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her approach is collaborative and practical.
She listens first, then helps people choose coping strategies that fit their situation. Work together may include telling personal stories, identifying emotional patterns, and practicing new ways to respond to feelings. Anne offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Online support
Emotion and Story Work Online
Anne draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and sit with strong feelings, then use those emotions to guide changes in how they relate to stress and loss. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which means she listens carefully and follows each person’s priorities while offering steady support and respect.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different ways of talking about problems and keeping what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that feels helpful, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or health needs.
