About Anne

Anne Kaeding is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with grief, depression, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame. Anne also supports people dealing with ADHD, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and issues related to adoption and attachment.

She aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can take between meetings. Anne uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes work with people experiencing caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and blended family concerns. She has experience addressing communication problems, commitment issues, and co-morbid conditions. Anne also works with those coping with domestic violence impacts, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns, and isolation or loneliness.

In sessions she discusses patterns that keep difficult feelings active and looks for small changes that reduce daily strain. She helps people sort priorities, manage mood symptoms, and handle stressful events with clearer plans. Conversations may include exploring family of origin dynamics and practical parenting strategies.

Anne describes therapy as a collaborative process where the plan is shaped by the person's goals and circumstances. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk through priorities and next steps.

Approaches and how online sessions fit your life

Anne works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns that keep painful feelings active. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and practice alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Another approach focuses on building specific coping skills and routines to manage stress, parenting demands, or mood fluctuations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their current needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts methods as progress or challenges emerge so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow for quicker check-ins during a break. It can also let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer audio-only conversations or use shorter sessions when a full hour is hard to schedule. Licensed professionals often find these practical benefits help make consistent work possible while addressing grief, guilt, parenting stress, and mood concerns.
