About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She combines mental health and body-focused perspectives to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She also works with clients on relationship concerns, self-esteem, addiction-related issues, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and sexual identity.
Zakrocka’s 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 also completed a PhD in holistic health in December 2023. Her background informs a practice that considers physical habits alongside emotional patterns.
In session she uses clear, practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent tool she applies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered techniques to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities and uses Mindfulness approaches to teach simple attention and breathing skills.
She pays attention to trauma history and integration with wellbeing work. That includes trauma-informed perspectives and an interest in movement-based practices that some people find grounding. She describes her style as straightforward and focused on skills that can be applied between sessions.
People come to her for help with anger that shows up at work or at home, for frustration that builds into resentment, or for managing impulses. She supports clients who want practical ways to change patterns and to feel more in control of day-to-day reactions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and keeping goals set by the client. In practice this means sessions start with the client’s priorities and the therapist adjusts pace and focus to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors in everyday life. Online sessions can include looking at patterns together, setting small experiments, and reviewing results in the next meeting.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness tools, or emotionally focused strategies fit best for the problem at hand. That decision is based on your goals, preferences, and what you notice works during the first few sessions.
The original biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. People often choose remote work because it can fit into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to continue work if travel or life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to the online setting so the work remains practical and applicable to daily life.
