More about Anam

- LCPC
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago, followed by a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My counseling experience spans a diverse range of clinical needs, including substance use and addiction, family and marriage concerns, domestic violence, young adults, anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. My approach is client-centered, with an emphasis on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and empowered. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients recognize patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and develop practical strategies for meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy is a collaborative process and strive to meet each client where they are while supporting them in building greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
