Annisha Dunaway, LCSW

Annisha Dunaway is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings six years of practice to her work with adults and teens. She combines practical care with a straightforward style. Annisha is warm, encouraging, and direct while helping people sort through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse concerns.

She approaches therapy as a teamwork process. Goals are set by following the client's lead and focusing on what the person wants to accomplish. Annisha blends methods rather than using one rigid model, adapting her approach to fit each person's needs.

Her background includes military service and work as a victim specialist with law enforcement, experiences that inform her perspective on stress, first responder issues, and trauma. She aims to offer a calm presence where people can work through grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Sessions focus on building practical skills and clearer thinking. Annisha uses evidence-based tools like values work, mindfulness, and behavioral strategies to help people manage anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She also addresses family of origin struggles, blended family challenges, and parenting concerns.

The therapeutic tone is honest and nonjudgmental. Annisha encourages clients to try small changes and to notice the results. She works to help people identify strengths, repair communication problems, and move toward the life they want.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Annisha often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and making meaning after loss or trauma. Client-Centered Therapy is another key part of her work and means she follows the person's lead, offering nonjudgmental support and reflective listening to help someone feel heard and understood.

Finding the right method is a team effort. She will collaborate with each client to choose or adjust approaches based on needs, goals, and personal preference. That process may include trying mindfulness exercises, practical behavior changes, or values-based tasks and then checking what helps.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to continue work while relocating or balancing shifts and caregiving, so practical access is often improved even when exact formats vary.
