Hi! My name is Anna Patterson and I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am also a Certified Grief Counselor. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and career challenges.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I also believe the therapeutic relationship is important and needs to be built on trust, so I commit to building a safe space for you to be heard and validated. My approach is integrative, which just means I use various therapies based upon your individual needs. I most often use cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, grief therapy, and relational therapy.
Finding a therapist to take this journey towards growth and healing can be challenging. It also takes courage. Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I would be honored to come alongside and work with you.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Eating disorders, Anger management, Career difficulties, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Attachment issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders , Women's issues

Anna has been an absolute anchor. With her guidance, I've navigated the choppy waters of grief with more grace than I ever thought possible. She's given me tools to cope, to find moments of peace amidst the turmoil, and to start rebuilding a life that feels like mine again.
I'm so grateful for the heartfelt sessions, the tears we've shared (and there's been a fair few!), and the laughs that brought light back into my days. Every chat has felt like a step forward, and I couldn't have wished for a better co-pilot during this journey.
So, if you're considering online therapy, I can't recommend BetterHelp enough. It's been a slice of solace when I needed it most, and my therapist? A true gem. Here's to healing, growing, and to the incredible folks who help us along the way. #BetterHelp #HealingJourney #GriefSupport

Anna is an amazing therapist. She listens and is amazing with prompting questions to help me with delving deeper into my problems and has great insight. She is always prepared and is good about communicating back to ensure accuracy in what she is understanding. I have been seeing her on and off for over a year and wouldn’t want anyone else.
