About Anat
Dr. Anat Anais is a licensed clinical social worker in New York. She brings 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and trauma.
She speaks English and Hebrew and works with many concerns that affect day-to-day life. She trained at Adelphi University, earning both a master's degree and a doctorate in social work. Over three decades she has supported people from varied backgrounds with issues like parenting challenges, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her LCSW credential is held in New York. Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She aims to understand each person's story before suggesting ways forward.
Sessions focus on practical steps, strengthening coping skills, and addressing patterns that keep problems repeating. Dr. Anais uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.
She draws on attachment work to look at relational patterns and on cognitive behavioral tools when people need help changing thoughts and behaviors. Motivational techniques are used when people want to make lasting changes. People can expect a collaborative process that tailors goals and pacing to their needs.
Dr. Anais pays attention to strengths and builds on what already works in a person's life. She helps people plan steps they can try between sessions.
Her practice offers a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on therapist availability.

How her approaches work online
Dr. Anais commonly blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotional and relationship patterns. Attachment work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people change long-standing patterns of relating. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep the work focused on the person's needs and pace. That means decisions about goals and techniques are made together, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and she will help determine what fits best based on a person's concerns and preferences.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
