About Anat
Dr. Anat Anais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. She also addresses concerns like grief, addictions, self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Her style is grounded in person-centered practice. She emphasizes strengths and listens closely to how problems show up in daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on clearer ways to express needs to others.
Dr. Anais draws on several therapy models rather than using a single method. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Client-Centered practices shape how emotions are named and discussed in sessions.
She adapts methods to each person rather than following a strict protocol. That means looking at goals together and changing course when something is not helpful. The approach is practical, steady, and focused on what works in everyday life.
Dr. Anais provides care in English and Hebrew and is based in New York. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, which helps set initial goals and expectations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Anais uses Attachment-Based Therapy to examine how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. This approach helps when anger or distance in close relationships keeps repeating. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and to practice alternative responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to name and work through strong feelings in the moment and to improve emotional communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts methods to the client's goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and change course if needed rather than sticking to a single plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new communication skills in contexts that resemble their day-to-day life. Licensed professionals and therapists will discuss which session rhythm and tools best match each person's schedule and goals.
