About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a background that combines counseling, exercise physiology, and holistic health to her work. Her approach centers on practical steps people can take to feel better and manage daily stresses.
Anna focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and sleep problems, plus areas such as addiction, career strain, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also addresses topics related to gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and body image. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring each person's values and life context. In session she draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also uses Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused practices to help people calm their bodies and connect with their feelings. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want help finding motivation for change. Her training 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 completed a PhD in Holistic Health in 2023, which informs her integrated view of mental and physical wellbeing. People who come to Anna should expect clear, practical suggestions, space to talk through challenges, and collaborative planning for next steps. She supports people who want tools they can use between sessions to cope with day-to-day demands and to work toward longer-term goals.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care
Anna commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client set the pace and goals. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and translate new insights into specific behavior changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep disruption.She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships or attachment worries come up. EFT helps people name and move through strong emotions and can be useful for improving connection and understanding around intimacy-related issues. Together these approaches give both emotional processing and concrete skills training.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit care into a busy life. Sessions may be held by video call for a full face-to-face conversation, by phone when video is not convenient, by live chat for shorter check-ins, or through text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule around work, school, or parenting duties and to use shorter formats for quick problem-solving or check-ins.
