About Annie
Annie McFadden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on helping people handle anger, stress, and major life changes. She offers a calm, direct style and aims to help parents and individuals regain control when emotions feel overwhelming. She brings 18 years of clinical experience working in community mental health and outpatient settings.
That background includes time as a clinical director and work with people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and behavioral concerns.
Background and approach
Annie uses what she has seen work over time and adapts it to each person's situation. Her approach mixes practical tools and supportive listening. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based methods to build flexible coping.
Mindfulness practices and emotionally focused ideas help people spot the patterns that fuel anger and conflict. Annie often helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction-related issues, and career challenges alongside mood concerns like bipolar disorder and depression. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, forgiveness, and guilt when those issues show up in session.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She aims to set clear goals, teach concrete skills, and track progress so clients see what changes. Annie describes therapy as a partnership built on honesty and respect, with the goal of greater daily functioning and more manageable emotions.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then move toward values-based action. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anger, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so a person can find their own solutions.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. Annie will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan matches the client's preferences and real-world challenges.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats give flexibility for ongoing work on anger, relationships, and coping skills without commuting to an office.
