I am a psychotherapist who is licensed in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as individual psychotherapy. I am a graduate of Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois), The Family Institute at Northwestern University, and The Institute for Psychoanalysis (Chicago). I have been mentored personally by several of the top Family Therapy theorists in the United States.
While obtaining my graduate degrees and certifications at Northwestern, I was awarded with an Honorarium to lecture and teach a 300 student 11 week psychology course at Northwestern because of my expertise in counseling. In addition, I have served as a faculty member at Lake Forest College, where I have counseled, taught, and supervised students. I have been a Clinical Fellow at the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years. I have been associated with Betterhelp since 2014.
Tele-Medicine Psychotherapy allows my clients/patients more access to me through their virtual visits and unlimited email, which is far more helpful, convenient, and safe then weekly or bi-weekly office visits, as well as, less expensive in cost.
My clinical experience includes, but is not limited to, individual, couple, and family therapy. The patients that I have successfully treated include people who present with issues relating to Life Transitions, Relationship and Marital Counseling, Child and Adolescent Issues and Concerns, PTSD & Trauma Resolution, Anxiety and Stress Disorders, Depression, Bipolar, Grief and Loss, Personality Disorders, Military-Veterans, Career Challenges, Weight Loss/Maintenance, Family Therapy, Family of Origin Healing, and Personal Growth & Self Awareness. I also work with clients who need assistance in life coaching. I am licensed to advise clients on issues and matters that come up as they navigate parenthood. My goals for each patient are individually thought-out according to a collaboration between patient and therapist. I can teach you how to become your own best advocate. My objective as your counselor is to assist in making you the best that you can be. I am extremely prompt in responding to all of the Betterhelp subscribers who are assigned to me. If you want my assistance on a daily basis, I am available to work with you. I am here for you as often as you'd like me to be. My objectives are to help you to exist in the environment in which you live and to assist you in getting to the next place in your life.
For those of you who are in relationships that have ended, I will assist you with survival skills which focus on THE WHY, THE HOPE, THE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, and THE LETTING GO, a system that I have developed that has helped hundreds of my clients.
The modalities that I use in my counseling approach are Psychodynamic, Family of Origin, Humanistic, Behavioral, Cognitive, CBT, Systemic, Solution Focused, Trauma Focused, as well as others. I set up a compassion-focused alliance with my clients.
I offer Live Camera Sessions, Live Phone Sessions, and Email Chat Sessions, as well as continuous email communication, to my clients. The choice is yours.
People start to heal the moment they feel heard. I look forward to joining with you as your counselor.

Anne is amazing!
I’ve tried working with many other counselors and she is by far and away the best one I’ve ever worked with. Her experience is apparent the second that you meet her. She has an innate skill for getting down the the core of what is going on and providing tangible ways to address it. Anne is a straight shooter and if you want real growth I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I never write reviews for literally anything but I feel so strongly about how great Anne is that I had to. If you have a chance to work with her you should immediately.

I have had an absolutely terrific experience working together with Anne, she is a wonderful person to work alongside, and I highly recommend her to anyone.
I came to Better Help during a particularly bad period in my life (June 2019), I had become an alcoholic, while a very messy and complicated relationship was ending to which I had no idea how to successfully navigate.
Through Anne’s help I now feel completely transformed and I am now living a healthier and happier life better than I had pre-pandemic.
She will always reply to any messages with practical solutions and help you to see things in ways that you’ve never considered.

Anne has provided invaluable support during a very difficult period for me. She helps to provide incredible perspective informed by experience, compassion and strong insight. She doesn't just tell me what I want to hear, either. She encourages me to think about things differently and with amazingly helpful advice.

In summary, Anne offers clarity in a time of chaos. She makes me feel like the chaos is manageable and poses questions that help me see different perspectives. I can tell by our discussions that she is very experienced and uses that experience to tailor each session to me. She offers suggestions and advices on my tentative plans of actions to resolve or be on the path to resolve my situation. She is honest with her advice and doesnt try to align with what she thinks you want to hear.
During our first video chat, i felt so welcomed and not judged. It allowed me to open up to her more quickly through our subsequent sessions and attribute the progress to date to her overall demeanor and expertise. She is available through all modes of communication and offers ample opportunity to meet. Book her fast if doing live - her calendar fills up quickly.

Anne has helped me immeasurably to get through a very difficult time after my marriage broke down.
She gives generously of her time and she always has valuable insight, and I highly commended her for the way she practices. She asks plenty of questions and she will not let you slip through the cracks.
For me, being able to message Anne at any time and knowing that her response was only a matter of hours away (at worst) was a great thing.
She is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. I'm glad I found her here, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that might need some expert help getting through life's difficulties.
Thank you so very much, Anne.

Anne has built such a naturally safe space for me to explore my issues with anxiety. She provides enough structure that I can feel the progress and the growth, but allows enough flexibility that I can address priorities as needed. She is empathetic without being a yesman, and she will ask the deep questions that you don't think to ask yourself, which is why we seek mental health services in the first place. I cannot praise her enough for the excellent care she provides. In just 6 months with her, I can quite tangibly feel the relief from my neuroticism. Thank you BetterHelp, and thank you Anne Douglas!!

Anne is very professional and while it's early on, she seems to respond well to both my feedback on what support I need or find helpful vs. not, as well as give timely and generally thoughtful feedback, questions, and responses. She is always calm, and has been helpful in being a strong sounding board as I deal with the unexpected and tragic death of a very close colleague and dear friend. I've also found her to be quick to understand my situation even though I imagine it is quite unusual as it involves an international, emerging markets (not just US) context.

Anne will get to the core of the problem and make you understand the origin of the challenges you might be facing.

I am grateful I got matched up with Anne - she's been nothing but a blessing to work with. Thank you Anne.

I would like to say that Anne Douglas is a great Therapist and offered much help in my time of need. When I first begin talking to her I was scrambled and without direction. With her guidance, she was able to not only draw out my issues but also help me find my own answers and resolutions. I am now able to understand where I am in life and where I need to go. There is still room for improvement and conversations that needs to be had; but, I believe I'm moving in a more positive direction than I was before. I see a lot more clearly.
Thank you, Anne, for going on this journey with me. You are very, very helpful, understanding and nonjudgmental. I truly appreciate you working with my crazy schedule and scattered mind- the late evening and early morning conversations that took you through 10 years in 3 sentences. Lol. Eventually, I understood what you meant by I needed to slow down, I just had so much bottled up that I really didn't know where to start but you broke it down and lead me in the right direction. You have been a great help and I couldn't have reach this place of growth in my mind without you.

I have been working with Anne pretty much daily since I began speaking with her. The most important thing I can tell you about her, that someone looking for help might care about, she will respond. She is not an automated response, her responses are considerate and individual. I intend to continue with Anne once I get some things paid for, which is the only reason for my current break. Anne messaged me back at time like 3 times in a day when I was having a difficult time. She really cares about her clients and goes above her duties to care of them.

Anne is kind, intelligent and available. I've never waited long for responses that throughly work to address points from my messages. Written medium can have challenges that in person may not though it allows me to write at times that work for me to sit and process thoughts. This processing time is helpful to me as I can reread and rewrite what I'm presenting and sharing so as to better understand myself through that process of review. Anne carries the right mix of support and push while seeking to understand what you're going through and truly cares.

Anne has been fantastic. A wonderful listener with great perspectives and advice on difficult situations. She has been such an important part of helping me get through some difficult times.
Written on Oct 27, 2016 after therapy with Anne for 1 year and 6 months on issues concerning relationship
Last year, I came to Anne after a year of struggling for about a year with anxiety, depression and family issues. I immediately appreciated Anne's efforts to get to know and understand me, which has only continued over the last year. She's been deliberate and honest, while still being gentle. Her input is always insightful and thought out. It's been refreshing to have someone provide a different perspective and offer support.

I thoroughly enjoyed my week with Anne - and got a lot out of it. She was very easy to talk to and was sympathetic to my thoughts.

She is awesome. She has helped me so much in getting through a difficult time.
Written on Feb 09, 2016 after therapy with Anne for 4 months
I have very much enjoyed our conversations. It has helped to have a neutral party to talk to about my emotional issues. I had given up on the local counselors around here because they simply never help me, and I never feel better after seeing them.
That has not been the case with Anne! She has been very supportive and helpful! She has also found things to mention now and then to help me improve my self esteem - and while I'm still weak on that- it has helped me! I also like that I can write to her any time - no appointment necessary. I've been having a very tough time most of last year, and it was totally getting to me. I needed some help, and Anne has been there for me.
I like this new way of going to counseling. I hope we will continue.

Anne has been a tremendous source of support and insight while I am navigating through a difficult divorce. She is extremely responsive, compassionate and understanding. Her ability to help me understand why my estranged husband is responding the way he is has brought new perspectives and calm through my divorce and I'm so glad I signed up for this service. At first I was unsure about email-based counseling but it's actually worked out better for me than the traditional method because of the timeliness of our communications and I am able to get timely advice as I need it. I hope everyone can benefit from a service like this, and someone like Anne, through their rough patches in life.

Anne Douglas is a great counselor. I feel I got further with one month on BetterHelp and Anne than I have in years of in person counseling. Anne seems to be able to hear exactly what I am saying and her responses make me see my thoughts differently, causing lots of light bulbs go off!

A caring and intelligent guide. Anne knows what to say, what not to say and when.
Written on Oct 04, 2015 after therapy with Anne for 1 month
Anne has been a tremendous help to me in sorting through the details of my life and offering insight that I would never have thought of or seen. Her help has been invaluable. I look forward to her every response even though I was very skeptical of on line counseling in the beginning. It has been a godsend to me and I'd recommend it to anyone.
There has also been minimal reliving of past ugly experience which is not so true of face to face counseling. I've had lots of that too over the years and always hated having to relive the bad times. I can hardly make good progress when I felt thrust into all of the emotions all over again of very unfortunate circumstances. I'm not sure that is so very healthy. I said all that to say how very much confidence I have with the counseling I have received. Thank you very much for your service.

Anne has been a great person to work with- it is difficult when you are limited to technology, without much personal inflection. But she has been very supportive, yet objective about my issues and working through them. I appreciate that at times, she is personal, but mostly professional and cuts to the chase. She is also incredibly responsive, and seems to respond to me immediately (even on weekends and nights).

I had a wonderful experience working with Anne. Through a very rough fall and winter while I was working and starting nursing school she helped me set boundaries, value myself more highly, focus on my academic goals, and manage my family responsibilities. She was non-judgemental and kind. I am very grateful for her time and help during the hardest part of my year. I know the smooth time I am having with work, school, and family is because of the skills and support she offered me during the last three months.
