About Anna
Anna Alberti is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, work and career stress, sleeping problems, and attention-related challenges like ADHD. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person. She pairs that with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Sessions often include simple teaching about how emotions and thoughts work. She helps people set clear, achievable goals and build small daily habits that support change.
In therapy people can expect straightforward guidance, practice exercises, and time to talk through setbacks without judgment. Anna brings more than 26 years of counseling experience to her work. That experience informs a flexible style - she adapts methods to fit each person rather than using one fixed plan.
Her background includes helping people cope with trauma, addiction, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. She describes her work as a partnership. People who choose her can expect to review progress regularly and adjust goals as needed.
Sessions are designed to be useful between appointments so change can continue in everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's goals. In practice this means the therapist asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify what they want to change or improve. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or bad habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers short, teachable skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs and goals. Plans are adjusted over time, so approaches can be combined or changed as progress unfolds.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief touchpoints, homework review, and real-time skills practice between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on goals from wherever someone is located.
