About Annie
Annie Allen is a licensed master social worker with 20 years of experience in medical and mental health settings. She offers calm, direct support and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Annie emphasizes teamwork in therapy and treats people with dignity and respect.
Her practice focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and sleep troubles. She also helps people facing trauma, intimacy-related concerns, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Additional areas of attention include HIV/AIDS, hospice and end-of-life concerns, multicultural issues, OCD and related habits, and seasonal mood changes. In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered listening. She draws on emotionally-focused therapy when emotions and relationship patterns are central to the issue.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and coping strategies. Annie has led groups and community programs for seniors and faith communities, and she brings that community experience into individual work. She helps people build day-to-day strategies to cope with chronic conditions, grief, and life transitions.
Expect clear goals, step-by-step skill building, and steady support. People who prefer collaborative, respectful care often find her approach helpful. She encourages clients to use their own strengths while trying new ways to manage problems.
Therapy is presented as a team effort toward practical change.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and evidence-based approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and shifting emotional patterns that get repeated in relationships and personal life. It helps people notice strong emotions, name them, and respond in ways that change old patterns and improve connection with others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values-based action and practical exercises to increase psychological flexibility and handle stress or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple experiments and skills to reduce worry, depression, and sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer quick access for brief coaching, skill practice, and homework between longer sessions.
