About Anne
Anne Douglas, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in Michigan and North Carolina and has 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes.

Douglas describes her style as collaborative and practical. She uses conversations to help people understand patterns in their relationships and in themselves. She emphasizes helping clients learn skills and strategies they can apply between sessions.

She has taught and supervised students at the college level and has served as a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over two decades.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on relationship patterns and early bonds. It helps people identify how past attachments influence current trust, closeness, and conflict and can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Client-centered methods emphasize listening and the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s concerns, reflects what is said, and supports people in finding their own answers to emotional or life challenges.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. It teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time based on what is most helpful.
The biography lists live camera sessions, live phone sessions, and email chat sessions as part of her telemedicine practice, and ongoing email contact is offered. If you need clarification about current session formats, confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer alternatives when travel or leaving work is difficult.
