About Annie
Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, and issues connected to family of origin. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, communication and control problems, and caregiving stress.
Annie uses straightforward, integrative methods in sessions. She draws on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions are practical and focused on what is happening now and how past family patterns influence current behavior.
In the room she helps people name patterns that came from their family of origin and see how those patterns show up in relationships, parenting, work, and self-image. Conversations can include concrete skill practice - such as communication techniques, coping strategies, or behavioral experiments - alongside reflection on feelings and attachment needs.
Annie’s background includes leadership and clinical work in community mental health, where she assessed and treated a wide range of mental health and behavioral concerns across ages. She is moving from a role as clinical director toward private practice work in Georgia.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process built on direct conversation, clear goals, and respectful feedback. People who value practical tools alongside exploration of family influences may find this approach a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Annie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns rooted in family dynamics. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it often includes step-by-step exercises for mood, anxiety, and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annie treats choice of method as collaborative and will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, history, and what they want to change. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize behavioral practice, values-based work, or emotion-focused exploration.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so work or caregiving breaks can be used for a meeting. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques like mindfulness exercises, behavioral homework, and communication practice to the online setting to keep sessions practical and focused.
