Annah Courson, LPC

Annah Courson is a licensed professional counselor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, and challenges like sleep problems and career strain. Annah works from a strengths-based view and speaks plainly about practical next steps.

She has 23 years of experience in clinical work in Alabama and brings a steady, patient approach. Annah treats obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and several forms of social anxiety and phobia. She also addresses attention-related challenges such as ADHD and the emotional toll of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Annah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on client-centered listening to make space for each person's experience and on solution-focused conversations to set clear, manageable goals. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work are part of how she supports people needing safety and readiness to change.

Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. Annah helps people build skills for sleeping better, managing panic, and strengthening self-love. She encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time.

If someone is ready to begin, she asks about current struggles and goals, then tailors a plan that fits daily life. The result is collaborative care aimed at gradual, sustainable progress.

Approaches that translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new, more helpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on open listening and reflection so the person feels heard and can guide the pace of work. This approach supports self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, client-centered listening, solution-focused goals, or trauma-focused steps depending on needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice and processing. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on clear, practical progress.
