About Annie
Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, anger, attention-related struggles, and life transitions.
Annie previously worked as a clinical director at a state-approved outpatient community mental health center. There she assessed, diagnosed, and treated mental health and behavioral concerns across many ages. That work included clients with first and secondary trauma and a range of emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Her way of working is integrative. She uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based methods, Motivational Interviewing, and other approaches when they fit a person's needs. Annie says faith-based beliefs inform how she weaves these methods together for some clients.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations look at unhelpful thoughts, patterns of behavior, and relationship or parenting challenges. She also covers coping skills for stress, relapse prevention for addictions, and communication or attachment concerns.
Annie describes the relationship as a partnership that relies on honesty, respect, and direct communication. She aims to help people develop concrete skills and clearer choices for daily life.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It uses short experiments and practical homework to change patterns that keep stress or anxiety going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking small actions even when emotions are uncomfortable, which can help with depression, grief, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on clear, respectful listening so a person can clarify goals and feel more able to try different responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will discuss methods and try what fits best for a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She frames this as a collaborative process where the client helps choose what to focus on and how to practice new skills between sessions.
