Anya Robertson , LCSW

Anya Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She centers each session on the person's strengths and goals. Anya treats people with respect and helps them make practical changes that feel achievable.

Her way of working is direct but warm. She listens to the full story and helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she breaks larger goals into small steps so progress is easier to notice. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between visits as well as on talking through difficult moments.

Anya uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also brings mindfulness techniques to increase awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps.

She has supported people dealing with life transitions such as divorce and caregiving, and those facing serious illness, hospice or end-of-life concerns. She also helps people cope with immigration-related stress, isolation, jealousy, and communication problems. First responder stress and blended family concerns are within her experience.

Sessions are offered in English and Anya is available to work with international clients. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and helps people choose practical tools that match their lives.

How Anya’s Approaches Work Online

Anya uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making daily life more manageable. CBT is practical and goal oriented and can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Mindfulness can support coping with grief, stress, and trauma symptoms by helping people stay present and grounded.

Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when people feel unsure about change. This approach focuses on clarifying personal values and strengthening motivation so goals feel more doable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and daily realities and then try techniques that fit. If something doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made together so the work matches what the person wants to achieve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit short updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity across changes in schedule or location.
