About Anna
Anna Sage is an LPC, LMHC practicing in Washington with four years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, grief, and ADHD. Sessions also address hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder.
She frames work in straightforward terms. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding. Practical strategies and real-life practice are part of how she helps people move forward.
Anna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered methods and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. That means she helps people identify thought patterns, test them against reality, and build new coping behaviors. She mixes skill teaching with collaborative problem solving.
Her background began as a peer specialist before moving into clinical counseling. That path shaped a focus on substance use and mental health concerns among adults. The combination of lived experience and clinical training informs how she approaches practical problem solving.
People who choose her work on specific problems in short-term focused ways or through longer skill-building. Appointments include setting small, measurable goals and practicing tools between sessions. The emphasis is on clear strategies that can fit into everyday life.
Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered. She provides services in English and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice automatic thoughts, test those thoughts, and try out different behaviors. CBT-focused work often involves concrete exercises, mood tracking, and small behavioral experiments between meetings.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting to clarify priorities and goals. This approach helps people organize what matters to them and decide which skills to try first.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT-informed work teaches specific techniques for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaboration. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend whether CBT, client-centered techniques, DBT skills, or a combination makes sense. That plan can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
