About Anna

Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, trauma and abuse, and other concerns such as self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Anna blends several practical methods in her work. She often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and relationship patterns that are hard to name. She also draws on Client-Centered approaches to keep the work focused on each person's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for concrete skills to manage thoughts and behaviors.

In session she helps people identify triggers and patterns, name difficult feelings, and try small changes to daily routines. Conversations move between exploring feelings and practicing new ways of responding. She also addresses related issues like sleep, eating, body image, and impulsivity when these affect wellbeing.

Her background includes graduate study in counseling and exercise physiology, plus a recent PhD in holistic health. Anna has a ten-year track record of counseling adults and adolescents, with a particular interest in trauma and integrated wellbeing. She mentions work with attachment and abandonment concerns, dissociation, and issues around kink and alternative sex culture.

Clients who choose Anna can expect straightforward, skills-informed work that connects emotions to everyday choices. Before booking, confirm current session options and any specific format needed.

How Anna’s approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and track emotional patterns that shape relationships and personal reactions. It focuses on identifying core feelings and how those feelings show up in interactions and daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and steady support, letting the client guide which topics to explore and at what pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and suits concerns like anxiety, sleep, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean focusing more on emotion-focused exploration in one block of sessions, then shifting to skill-building with CBT in another - decisions are made together as progress and priorities emerge.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let someone choose whether to meet with video or use other supported formats if available. Those practical benefits can help therapy become a workable part of everyday life rather than an extra burden.
