Anne George , LMFT

Anne George is a licensed marriage and family therapist with twelve years of clinical experience in California. She focuses on helping people navigate addictions, relationship and family problems, and parenting challenges. She emphasizes clients' strengths and works alongside them as they take steps toward change.

Anne uses straightforward, supportive conversation to help people understand what is getting in the way. She listens first, then helps figure out practical next steps. Her style is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on skills that can be used between sessions.

She draws from several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, attending to attachment patterns, or building acceptance for difficult feelings. Sessions often include concrete tools for managing anger, sleep problems, or addictive behaviors.

People come to Anne for help with body image, eating and food-related issues, and coping with life changes such as divorce or blended family transitions. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, or career stress by helping them set realistic goals and boundaries.

Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and problems stemming from family of origin. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, communication breakdowns, and codependency so clients can move toward healthier connections.

Anne offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy and connection

Anne integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit the person in front of her. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action; it can help with anxiety, chronic pain, and struggles around self-worth. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer, more predictable ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques for managing mood, sleep, anger, and addictive impulses.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Anne works with clients to decide which methods feel most helpful for their goals and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques based on feedback so therapy stays practical and focused on real changes.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper discussion is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when written reflection feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
