About Anne
Anne George is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work in California. She focuses on practical help for people facing addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Anne speaks plainly and meets clients where they are to figure out manageable next steps. She believes people know their own stories and already carry many strengths.
In sessions she helps clients notice those strengths and apply them to change unhelpful patterns. Anne emphasizes small, concrete steps that can make daily life easier.
Her approach blends relationship-focused methods like the Gottman Method with skills-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas and a client-centered stance to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and goals.
Anne regularly helps with issues that show up across daily life - sleep and eating struggles, anger, self-esteem, and career stress - as well as challenges tied to family history, adoption and foster care, blended families, and caregiver burden. She supports people coping with chronic illness, codependency, and substance concerns.
In short sessions she aims for clear, doable goals. She works collaboratively to reduce overwhelm and build lasting habits.
Those seeking a straightforward, strengths-based partner for change often find her approach practical and calming.
Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
Anne uses a few complementary methods to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on how people interact in close relationships and offers concrete tools to improve communication and reduce conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early bonds shape current patterns, helping people notice and change repeated responses that no longer serve them.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what helps. Together you will prioritize steps that match your needs, values, and daily routine rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for longer therapy sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text are useful for brief reflections, check-ins between sessions, or when a written exchange fits your schedule. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, caregiving responsibilities, or travel without sacrificing continuity of care.
