Anna Weddington, LCMHC
About me
Hi! My name is Anna Weddington, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 20 years of counseling experience in the school setting. I received my Master's Degree in School Counseling in 2003 from Appalachian State University and became a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in 2016. I enjoy working with people on a wide array of topics such as ADHD, life transitions, development of coping skills, self-empowerment, grief and loss, as well as anxiety and depression.
I strive to create an emotionally safe environment of warmth and acceptance. My clinical approach is integrative. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client Centered Therapy. I ofen use techniques such as Motivational Interviewing, Goal-Setting, and Expressive Arts. I believe that every individual possesses the ability to harness their strengths to find solutions that work for them.
The decision to engage in the therapeutic process is a courageous one. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. I hope that we will connect soon!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anna Weddington. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Anna has made our sessions such a positive space aimed towards facilitating growth. She has a wide range of expertise and diverse range of experiences. Our first session she explained to me that she believed therapy is a unique, non judgement at, space where people are able to completely open up. I look forward to my meetings with Anna and am so excited to continue working with her.
