About Anne

Anne McLaren is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Her approach is warm and straightforward, inviting people to speak openly about what matters to them.

She aims to build a trusting, nonjudgmental space where clients can sort through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps, not jargon.

Background and approach

Anne encourages small changes that add up over time and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Anne works from several evidence-informed approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She blends these methods to address emotional patterns, communication struggles, and mood concerns.

The tools she uses are chosen to fit each person's situation rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes long-term work with stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and life purpose.

Clients often focus on improving daily routines, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding trust after difficult events. Anne values collaboration and practical problem solving. She helps people set manageable goals, track progress, and build skills they can use between sessions.

The tone in sessions is respectful, direct, and hopeful.

Online support

How Anne Uses Different Approaches Online

Anne draws on the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and shared interactions, which can help people spot recurring arguments and learn safer ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace of work by following what matters most to the person and offering empathy and understanding as the foundation of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anne will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend techniques that fit your situation. The plan can change over time so you can test what helps and keep what works best.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when conversation and tone matter. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life gets busy.
