Anne Ethier , LPC

Anne Ethier, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), centers her work on helping people move toward healing and fuller connection. She speaks plainly about difficult experiences and offers steady guidance for stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, and intimacy issues.

Anne brings 20 years as an LPC and more than three decades in health and wellness to her practice. She aims to help people uncover patterns that keep them stuck and to build habits that support lasting change. Sessions attend to both thoughts and bodily experience rather than treating symptoms alone.

Her approach draws on somatic awareness and the Hakomi-informed focus on present-moment experience. That means attention to physical sensations, feelings, and automatic responses while talking through what matters most. This helps with emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and strengthening connection with self and others.

Anne works with people facing addictions, eating and food-related issues, and the emotional fallout of guilt, shame, and loss of purpose. She also supports those dealing with attachment struggles, communication problems, codependency, and control issues. Pregnancy, childbirth, and women's issues are listed areas of focus as well.

Therapy sessions use practical tools alongside reflective work. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, grounding exercises, and steps to practice between meetings. Anne practices in Georgia and offers work aimed at steady, real-world change rather than quick fixes.

How body-aware approaches and online care work together

Anne uses evidence-based techniques that attend to both thinking and bodily experience. Somatic awareness focuses on noticing sensations in the body to help identify emotional patterns and build better regulation. A Hakomi-informed stance emphasizes present-moment experience and gentle curiosity about automatic responses, which can surface beliefs held in the body and support change.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, then adjust based on what helps most. This means trying conversational work alongside grounding or sensing exercises and choosing what feels useful for your situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face and try embodied practices together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text offer short check-ins, reflection between sessions, and flexibility for busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
