About Annie
Annie McFadden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 18 years of experience in mental health. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and life changes. Annie also supports concerns such as ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.
She uses a mix of evidence-based methods rather than a single model. That means sessions can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), client-centered approaches, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Annie adapts these tools to what an individual actually needs in session.
Her background includes work in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center where she assessed, diagnosed, and treated a wide range of concerns across age groups. She has experience in clinical leadership and is moving into private practice after serving as a clinical director. That clinical history informs how she structures assessment and ongoing care.
In sessions she aims to build an open working relationship based on direct communication, respect, and honesty. Conversations tend to focus on specific goals and practical steps someone can try between meetings. Faith-based beliefs are sometimes part of how she frames the work when clients identify that as helpful.
People often come to Annie when they feel stuck during transitions such as leaving home, changing jobs, or coping with loss. She helps clients talk through what’s happening, identify patterns that cause pain, and try different actions to change how they feel and function.
How approach and online sessions connect
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying new ways of thinking and acting to change mood and function. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problem-solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people express needs and connect differently, which can ease conflict and improve intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In practical terms, online sessions can make therapy fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it easier to keep continuity during job or school moves. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic methods through remote sessions, and the focus remains on clear goals, regular practice, and actionable steps to handle day-to-day challenges.
