About Anna
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience, Anna Ward Martin helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family concerns, and depression. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions and focuses on skills that people can use between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.
Anna describes her work as skills-focused and client-centered. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques to build awareness and reduce reactivity.
In session she talks through immediate problems and sets small, achievable goals. She pays attention to communication patterns and control issues, and helps people address guilt, shame, forgiveness, and self-worth. For someone struggling with panic or mood symptoms, she combines skills training with narrative techniques to clarify values and purpose.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions may involve role-play to practice conversations, guided breathing or grounding exercises, and homework exercises to try between meetings. Anna favors short-term skills work when that fits, and longer-term planning when people need it.
She does not offer chat-only therapy; she provides phone and video sessions. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and helps prioritize goals for change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then tests small changes. In remote sessions, CBT tools include short structured exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online work with DBT skills may involve teaching and practicing those skills, plus guided exercises for managing panic and mood shifts.
Finding the best approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is reviewed.
The biography specifies phone and video sessions and excludes chat-only work. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use breathing or grounding exercises in a convenient setting.
