About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and ADHD. Anna also addresses topics like body image, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She combines practical approaches to make change feel achievable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the methods she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered listening, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the work to a person’s needs.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and small experiments people can use between meetings. Anna pays attention to how stress, movement, and daily habits interact with mood and relationships. That means sessions can include talking through patterns, planning manageable steps, and practicing new coping strategies.
Her background mixes counseling and health sciences. She holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan and a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Arlington. She completed a PhD in holistic health in 2023 and has training related to trauma care and yoga-based approaches.
People who are looking for practical, structured work on thinking, behavior, or relationship patterns may find her style useful. She accepts English-speaking clients and also works with international clients; confirm session details before booking.
How CBT and related approaches translate to online sessions
Anna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT sessions often involve brief skill practice, worksheets, and planning small experiments to change how a thought or routine affects mood and behavior.She also works from a client-centered perspective that focuses on careful listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central, helping people identify and name emotions and interact differently with others.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Anna will discuss goals and preferences and together decide whether CBT, client-centered work, emotionally-focused techniques, or a mix fits best for the issues at hand. The plan can be adjusted as progress becomes clearer.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce commute time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists often adapt worksheets and mindfulness exercises for digital use so the same practical skills can be practiced between meetings.
