About Annie

Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and blended family issues, trauma, depression, and parenting challenges. Annie works with adults on practical problems like parenting, co-parenting, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes.

She draws on several counseling approaches rather than a single method. Sessions often use acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused ideas, and mindfulness. Conversations focus on what is happening now, patterns that keep problems going, and small steps that change daily life.

Annie spent many years in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center. In that role she assessed, diagnosed, and treated mental health and behavioral disorders at different levels of severity. Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and grief, and she has experience with children, adolescents, and adults in community settings.

In private practice she approaches therapy as a partnership. She emphasizes honest communication, respect, and clear goals. Clients can expect straightforward talk about values, behavior patterns, and practical strategies to reduce conflict and improve routines in blended households.

She also integrates motivation-focused work to build readiness for change and mindfulness techniques to manage strong emotions. For parents and stepparents, sessions typically include skills for clearer communication, boundary-setting, and managing loyalty conflicts without taking sides.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify what matters to a person and encourages small committed actions toward those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when making life changes in a blended household. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can work through feelings and make choices that fit their life. This approach supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting roles, and loyalty conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what is practical. Together they decide whether ACT, client-centered methods, or cognitive techniques will best address communication problems, attachment concerns, or daily parenting challenges.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy fits between work or family tasks. Licensed professionals often use video or phone in different combinations; discuss what works best for session length, having less visual demands, or handling bandwidth limits when arranging appointments.
