About Anne
Anne Rochon is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on client-centered care. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. Anne uses straightforward techniques and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
She blends several approaches to match the person in front of her. That can mean trying new thinking patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy, using mindfulness exercises to reduce tension, or working through trauma-related memories.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to fit the client's needs and goals, and Anne helps build simple skills that people can use between sessions. Common concerns she works with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people facing identity questions such as gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and the impacts of trauma and abuse.
Additional focus areas include ADHD, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and relationship styles like polyamory and kink dynamics. Anne brings ten years of clinical experience in Washington to her practice as a WA LMHC - licensed mental health counselor. That background informs practical problem solving, steady listening, and gentle guidance for next steps.
She emphasizes small, achievable changes that add up over time. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction, regain confidence in their decisions, and create more satisfying daily life. Sessions are collaborative and respectful, centered on what the client wants to change and how they want to live.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's needs and choices first, so sessions focus on listening and on tailoring the pace and goals to each person. This approach helps with stress, self-esteem, and navigating life changes by centering what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and includes simple homework like noticing thought patterns and practicing alternative responses.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and the feelings they carry. When appropriate, portions of EMDR work can be adapted to online sessions to help people process past trauma at a manageable pace.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and comfort level, then suggest a mix of methods to try. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video supports face-to-face interaction and longer therapeutic work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins, and messaging provides an ongoing way to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while trying different approaches.
