About Annamarie
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Virginia with 10 years of experience, Annamarie Compton helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also focuses on guilt and shame, panic disorder and panic attacks, and social anxiety and phobia. Annamarie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a faith-informed perspective in her practice.
Annamarie works with individuals who want concrete tools for managing symptoms. Sessions often include talking through recent difficulties, learning coping strategies, and practicing breathing or grounding techniques for panic and anxiety. She includes the role of personal faith when clients find that important to them.
Her work draws on trauma-informed ideas to reduce reactivity and increase safety in the moment. She helps people name and track patterns that keep them stuck, and then try out different skills to change those patterns. Practical steps and short exercises are used between sessions to build new habits.
Clients can expect a direct and calm approach focused on clear goals and small, measurable steps. The focus is on what is happening now, how it links to past experiences, and what can be tried next. Annamarie treats spiritual beliefs as part of the person’s life and integrates those beliefs with therapeutic techniques when requested.
She brings a decade of clinical experience in community and outpatient settings. That background informs her attention to common problems like panic attacks and social anxiety, and to feelings of guilt or shame that often follow trauma. The result is practical work aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing daily functioning.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and small experiments. For example, cognitive-behavioral style work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. That approach is useful for social anxiety, panic attacks, and depressive thinking.Trauma-informed practices focus on reducing reactivity and building tolerable ways to face difficult memories. This includes pacing sessions, using grounding strategies, and teaching breathing or body-based exercises to manage panic and overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to keep treatment consistent and focused on daily functioning.
