About Anna

Anna Klosek, LPC, helps people who are coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and treats people with respect and compassion. She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life and tailors care to each person's needs.

She earned a Master of Arts in Psychology in 2000 and an Education Specialist degree in School Psychology in 2001 from Marshall University. She also completed postgraduate coursework in counseling at Liberty University and Marshall University. Anna spent many years working as a school psychologist and has experience across inpatient and outpatient settings and social service organizations.

Across 16 years of counseling work, she has supported people dealing with relationship strain, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, workplace issues, and trauma. Her background includes helping with forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and codependency questions. She approaches grief and loss with sensitivity and practical support.

Her counseling style is strengths-based and client-centered. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas and integrates other approaches to suit the person in front of her. When clients wish, she can incorporate prayer, scripture, and Christian-informed perspectives into sessions.

Anna aims to create a collaborative relationship. She focuses on clear goals so people can see progress and build skills for daily life. The result is a straightforward plan that fits each client's values and circumstances.

How Anna’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions center on the client’s priorities and the therapist reflects understanding without pushing a preset plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to the present moment and helps reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps and what feels comfortable for the client.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. Many people find that working with a licensed professional remotely helps them practice skills between sessions and apply changes directly to their daily routines.
