About Annie

Annie McFadden is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and substance-related issues. Annie also addresses problems such as anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapy methods. In sessions she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered work, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing as appropriate. The focus is on practical ways to manage feelings, improve communication, and navigate difficult moments at home.

Her background includes nearly two decades in community mental health settings, including work assessing and treating mental health and behavioral disorders in a State approved private outpatient community mental health center. That experience involved supporting people across age groups and roles, and included administrative leadership as a clinical director before moving toward private practice.

In therapy Annie treats the relationship with a client as a partnership. She aims for straightforward communication and respectful collaboration. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, developing coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to stressors.

People who are juggling parenting responsibilities, caring roles, blended family tensions, or grief often seek her help. She also works with those processing attachment and abandonment issues, commitment concerns, or family of origin conflicts. To begin, clients complete a short intake and schedule an initial meeting to see if her approach fits their needs.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and commit to actions that move them toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching practical ways to notice thoughts and choose actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills training through structured exercises and homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annie will discuss which methods fit the issues you bring, your goals, and your preferences. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online appointments help them fit therapy around parenting and work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer a quieter conversation, or a session that avoids video for a single visit, mention that when you schedule so available options can be reviewed.
