About Anna

Anna Ward Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. Her work centers on practical steps and discovering strengths clients already have.

She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on Client-Centered approaches to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when clients want concrete skills to shift thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often focus on everyday challenges like communication problems, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. Anna helps people who are coping with panic attacks, mood disorders, or who want clearer life purpose and more self-love.

She aims for simple, usable strategies rather than long lists of techniques. Her style is collaborative. She talks with clients about goals and selects approaches that fit those aims.

Progress is tracked in real ways, such as reduced panic symptoms or improved communication at home. Anna is based in Georgia and holds the LPC credential. She conducts therapy in English and provides video and phone sessions as her primary remote formats.

Her focus is on steady, practical change and helping people restore a sense of balance in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Anna directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and skills-based work translate online

Anna blends Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered care with practical CBT skill-building to help people online. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and gently reframes those stories to open new possibilities. Client-Centered work focuses on listening, respect, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides concrete techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and problematic habits.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaboration helps match Narrative work or CBT tools to what feels most useful in everyday life.

Online formats include video calls and phone sessions, which allow longer conversations and visual cues, and are good for skill practice and deeper discussion. Live chat or text messaging are not offered by this therapist, but phone and video can be easier to fit around work, childcare, or travel. These options make it possible to do focused work on communication, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention without commuting, and they let sessions fit more naturally into a busy schedule.
