About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with ten years of experience. She works with adults on common stressors like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem, and issues tied to identity and sexuality, including LGBT and gender dysphoria.
Anna uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally focused approaches to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and rebuild important connections. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
She also pays attention to how trauma and past attachment experiences affect current life. That includes work on abandonment, dissociation, and shame. Anna brings those concerns into regular talk therapy rather than relying on a single technique.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan and a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Arlington. She also completed a PhD in Holistic Health in 2023. Those studies inform how she looks at mental and physical wellbeing together.
People who connect well with Anna tend to want clear, practical steps and steady discussion about feelings, behaviors, and relationships. She helps with career stress, parenting strain, eating and body image worries, compulsive behaviors, and questions about intimacy and kink culture. Sessions move at a practical pace toward manageable change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open, respectful listening and helping people set their own goals. Online sessions let that conversation happen from wherever someone is able to join, with the therapist following the client's lead to clarify priorities and next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often looks like short teaching moments, practice tasks between meetings, and reviewing what changed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and on building stronger bonds. It is useful for people who want to change patterns in close connections and can be adapted to online talk work.
Finding the best approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, EFT, client-centered work, or a mix is the best path.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals use these formats to keep continuity of care while working alongside everyday life.
