About Annie
Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, and a range of other challenges. Annie also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, burnout and compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Annie draws on several practical approaches to shape sessions. She commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, and mindfulness-based techniques. Sessions emphasize clear communication, exploring emotions, and building skills that help with day-to-day coping.
Her background includes many years in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center where she assessed, diagnosed, and treated mental health and behavioral concerns across age groups. That work involved children, adolescents, adults, and families, and included leadership as a clinical director. She is now moving from that role into private practice in Georgia.
Annie describes her method as integrative. She weaves several approaches together as needed and may include motivational interviewing and interpersonal or narrative elements when they fit. Faith beliefs are part of how she frames care for some clients and can be included on request.
People who meet with Annie can expect straightforward conversation about goals, collaborative planning, and attention to both feelings and practical steps. She aims to help clients reduce unhelpful patterns, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, and build clearer ways to handle life changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting the emotional responses that keep people stuck. In short sessions, it helps name hard feelings and change interaction patterns that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and to commit to actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Annie will discuss goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what is most helpful. She aims to work together so the plan reflects the client’s priorities and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using mindfulness exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and CBT skill practice in the moment. Ask about format details when you schedule so sessions match your day-to-day needs.
