About Annie
Annie McFadden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing parenting stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She brings 18 years of mental health experience and a calm, practical way of working. Annie aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for busy parents who need clear guidance.
Her practice focuses on parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She supports people coping with trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Annie also helps with attachment and abandonment worries, blended family challenges, and communication or commitment problems. Annie uses an integrative approach that combines several evidence-based methods. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness tools to match the moment-to-moment needs of each person.
Sessions prioritize practical skills, clearer thinking, and stronger emotional connection. In past roles she worked in a state-approved outpatient community mental health center where she assessed and treated a broad range of concerns. That work included supporting children, adolescents, adults, and caregivers in community settings and serving as clinical director before moving toward independent practice.
Her style centers on partnership, honesty, and respect. Parents and individuals are invited to set goals, try specific coping techniques, and review progress together. The focus is on small, achievable changes that improve daily life.

Approaches that translate to online care
The therapist often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. ACT can be useful for parents working to respond differently to stress and anxiety. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete behavior changes that ease symptoms and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a mindfulness exercise one week and focused behavior work the next, then checking in to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging can keep progress going between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules, work hours, and other commitments while still working on the same therapeutic goals.
