Annie McFadden, LPC

Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings. Annie aims to create a respectful, honest partnership where goals are clear and progress is tracked.

Annie has 18 years of experience in mental health work, including time in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center. There she assessed and treated a range of concerns at many levels. That background includes work with trauma, behavioral issues, mood disorders, and the effects of violence.

Her way of working is integrative. She pulls from several approaches to fit what each person needs rather than relying on a single method. Common methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy.

Annie describes therapy as a partnership that needs honesty, respect, and clear communication. She emphasizes empathy, practical tools, and supported hope so people can feel healthier in their lives and relationships.

Currently transitioning from a clinical director role in community mental health to private practice, Annie combines years of hands-on experience with a straightforward, person-focused approach to help clients move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, concrete steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching ways to act despite hard thoughts or feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily life, and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments are made as needed over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and homework tools in their own daily routines while working with a licensed professional to tailor approaches to their situation.
