Anne Douglas, LMFT

Anne Douglas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience based in North Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than labels or jargon.

Her background includes graduate training at Northwestern University and study at the Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago. She has taught and supervised students at the college level and has served as a Clinical Fellow with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years. Her experience spans individual, couple, and family settings across many presenting concerns.

In practice she combines several approaches to match what each person needs. You will find techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral work, attachment-based thinking, emotionally-focused ideas, and narrative and Jungian perspectives. Sessions include discussion, practical exercises, and attention to patterns that keep problems repeating.

Anne offers a mix of live camera sessions, live phone sessions, and email chat, plus ongoing email contact when appropriate. She describes therapy as a collaborative effort and emphasizes teaching clients skills to advocate for themselves and manage day-to-day challenges.

Her approach to relationship endings includes a structured set of coping skills she developed that addresses why the breakup happened, what hope remains, what might have been, and how to move toward letting go. People who want frequent contact and active coaching style may find this approach fits their needs.
