About Anna
Anna VanEaton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
She uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions emphasize noticing thoughts and habits, testing new responses, and building everyday skills. Work often includes short exercises and behavioral experiments to try outside of sessions.
Her practice recognizes the difficulty of beginning therapy and centers straightforward communication about scheduling and goals. She does not provide texting as a counseling format and does not work on Fridays or weekends. Her listed hours are maintained on her calendar to help clients pick times that fit their needs.
Anna frames progress as steady practice rather than sudden fixes. She encourages people to take concrete steps toward clearer thinking, improved coping, and better communication. For people weighing therapy, she recommends starting with a short matching questionnaire and a first session to set priorities.
Sessions are delivered in English and follow the subscription model described in her practice, which can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going by turning learning into practical homework tasks and quick experiments.ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) teaches clients to notice inner experiences without getting stuck in them, and to commit to values-based actions. It can help when worry or avoidance keeps someone from doing what matters most to them.
EMDR is a structured approach used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional hold. In online work it follows clear steps to manage distress and build new ways of relating to difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions continue.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling and session length when completing the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to match daily routines.
