Anne WisemanLCPC

Anne Wiseman is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, compassion fatigue, and life transitions, including concerns around pregnancy and childbirth. Her manner is supportive and straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel manageable during a difficult time.

She offers a collaborative space where the client leads the work and the therapist provides guidance. Sessions emphasize listening to both what is said and what is left unsaid. The tone in sessions is respectful and nonjudgmental, and clients are encouraged to set the pace and goals.

Anne uses mainly cognitive-behavioral and strengths-based techniques, adapting them to fit each person's situation. She believes there is no single path that works for everyone, so she adjusts the approach as needs and goals become clearer. This practical orientation helps clients build coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns.

Her background includes clinical and private practice settings and work with survivors of domestic violence and people in the LGBTQI+ community. That variety has shaped a flexible style that balances direct skill-building with attention to life context and identity concerns.

Sessions and next steps are arranged through the site matching process. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How cognitive and strengths-based work translates to online care

Anne commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, which involve identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new ways of responding. This approach helps with anxiety, panic, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors.

She also draws on strengths-based techniques that highlight personal resources and past successes. Those methods focus on building on what already works, which can help with motivation during life transitions like pregnancy and postpartum adjustment.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods over time. If an approach isn't working, it can be adjusted to better fit the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy schedule easier and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and can be a good fit when quieter surroundings or not being on camera make participation easier. Licensed professionals can help choose the session rhythm that best matches daily life.
