About Anna
Anna VanEaton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, addiction, and family of origin problems.
VanEaton uses clear, conversational talk in sessions. She helps people name what feels difficult and develop practical steps to manage it. Sessions are meant to let clients speak openly about their thoughts and feelings. She does not use texting as a counseling method.
Her work draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. That mix supports symptom-focused strategies and skills practice as well as deeper processing of painful memories.
People often bring concerns about blending households, co-parenting tensions, loyalty conflicts, or adjusting to a new partner and children. VanEaton helps people sort practical routines and communication patterns, and plan next steps they can try at home. She also supports coping with grief, addiction, and long-term health challenges.
Sessions follow a straightforward style: talk, decide on small experiments or skills to try, then review progress. Scheduling respects weekday hours and does not include Fridays or weekends. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven actions to improve daily life, which can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It provides tools to test unhelpful beliefs and try new patterns, useful for depression, anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing upsetting memories so they have less emotional charge. It is often used for people coping with trauma and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as needs change.
If you plan to use online sessions, check the current session formats before booking. The therapist does not use texting for counseling, so confirm which live session options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday routine, keep sessions shorter when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency with the work.
