Anne FrauensLCSW-C

Anne Frauens is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at helping someone feel more able to cope day to day.

She focuses on clear, simple goals that fit a person's life. Sessions often address self-esteem, grief, communication problems, and the emotional effects of illness or caregiving. She also supports people through changes such as divorce and midlife transitions.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn new ways of thinking and relating. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers tools you can try between meetings. The emphasis is on skills that reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning.

Anne has particular experience with concerns that touch on aging and cancer, chronic pain and disability, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues like codependency, control struggles, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Her background helps when medical or caregiving situations add emotional strain.

She practices in Maryland and holds the LCSW-C credential, which indicates clinical social work licensing in that state. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps to schedule a first appointment and see how the work feels in practice.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more balanced thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes learning emotional regulation and coping skills to manage stress, grief, and caregiver burden. These techniques are taught in step-by-step ways and practiced during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, life demands, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting strategies as progress is made or needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and let people meet from different locations when needed. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking to know whether video or phone sessions are offered. The focus of online care is the same as in person: learning skills, working through emotional challenges, and supporting daily functioning.
