About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Sessions also address issues like ADHD, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, and trauma-related symptoms.
Her background combines 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 brings that broader perspective into sessions.
Anna favors practical, skills-based work alongside reflective conversation. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered principles to keep sessions focused on the client’s priorities and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationship or attachment concerns appear.
In practice she helps people identify patterns that cause strain at home and at work. She helps adults sort through family problems, commitment worries, and the emotional fallout of abandonment or infidelity. She also supports people navigating gender dysphoria and LGBTQ-related concerns.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Anna will work on concrete coping strategies for panic, sleep, and anger while also addressing deeper issues such as shame, dissociation, and body image. People looking for an approach that blends cognitive tools, mindfulness, and motivational techniques may find her style fits well.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s concerns first and focuses on listening and reflection. Online sessions using this approach will emphasize the client’s priorities and pacing, useful for sorting family roles or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work this often means homework such as thought records, sleep hygiene steps, or behavioral experiments to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or change habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice patterns in emotional responses and attachment. When relationship or attachment issues come up, the therapist guides recognition of these patterns and practices ways to respond differently.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over a few sessions so the work aligns with what is most helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can be practical for fitting therapy into daily life - it can make shorter check-ins easier, avoid travel time, or allow sessions during a lunch break. Therapists and licensed professionals often combine conversational work with written exercises and mindfulness practices so progress continues between appointments.
