About Anne
Anne George is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of clinical experience. She draws on that background to help people who are struggling with anger, addictions, relationship conflict, and parenting stress. Anne frames the work as a partnership and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
She encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to use those strengths to handle difficult moments.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on problem solving. Anne aims to make goals clear and manageable so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming. Her approach mixes skills training and reflective work.
She teaches coping tools for intense feelings and helps people practice new ways of communicating. She also pays attention to how past attachment or family patterns can show up in current relationships. Anne works with issues such as self-esteem, intimacy, eating and sleeping concerns, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, blended family adjustments, and caregiver stress. When addictions or substance use are present, she helps clients set practical goals and build strategies to reduce harm. Clients who prefer clear strategies and steady encouragement often find her style helpful.
She balances direct skills practice with acceptance-based ideas to help people move toward meaningful change. Anne uses video, phone, chat, and text options to fit therapy into busy lives.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps toward change, which can help with anger, addiction, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing anger, sleep and eating concerns, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships and helps people shift patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. A therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean practicing CBT skills one week and using ACT ideas the next, or adding attachment-focused conversation when relationship patterns come up.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other obligations.
