Annie McFadden

Annie McFadden, LPC, helps people who are facing big life changes and day-to-day stress. She greets each person with a calm, straightforward manner. Her aim is to listen carefully and create practical steps that fit into everyday life.

She has 18 years in the mental health field and has worked in community outpatient settings. That work included assessing and treating trauma, anxiety, depression, behavior concerns, and other mental health issues across different age groups. Annie moved from a clinical director role into private practice to focus more closely on individual care.

Annie uses an integrative style in sessions. She draws from methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to match what a person needs. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to the client and building small, doable steps toward change.

Sessions often blend practical skill work with exploring feelings and relationship patterns. Annie emphasizes honesty, respect, and collaboration in the room. She also incorporates her faith-based perspective when it feels relevant to the person she is working with.

The overall goal is to help people manage stress, cope with life changes, and improve day-to-day functioning. Annie aims to support clients as they try new ways of responding, set clearer boundaries, and rebuild a sense of balance.

How approaches like ACT and CBT work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. CBT often works well for anxiety, depression, and habit patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions show up in relationships and helps people shift interaction patterns to feel more connected.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person and adjust them over time based on what feels useful.

Many people appreciate online work because it can fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life challenges directly into the conversation. Licensed professionals can guide how to make online sessions effective, and sessions can be scheduled to match the rhythm of a client's life.
