About Anne
Anne Flaherty is a New York licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical, steady support so clients feel heard and understood from the first session. Anne brings 22 years of clinical experience to each conversation and tailors plans to the needs of the individual.
Her approach centers on listening and working together to find useful steps forward.
Background and approach
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and clarity, and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused methods are woven in to teach coping skills and set small, realistic goals. Anne also offers support for concerns connected to aging, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and end-of-life matters.
She can help with communication struggles, control issues, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions. Sessions focus on concrete tools and manageable changes rather than long, abstract explanations. Her style is respectful and direct.
She helps people prioritize what feels most urgent, practices simple skills in-session, and builds a plan people can use between meetings. Anne aims to empower clients to handle setbacks and recognize progress over time. Clients meet via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a brief matching questionnaire.
How Anne Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Anne often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own answers, which helps build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She discusses goals with each person, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative rhythm lets the therapist and client choose tools that fit the client’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to one method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging helps keep momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health issues while still focusing on concrete skills and steady progress.
