Anna Sage, LPC, LMHC

Anna Sage is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and the daily challenges of ADHD. She communicates plainly and listens closely so clients can talk through what feels most urgent. Her name appears early in sessions to set a warm, straightforward tone aimed at making starting therapy easier.

Anna uses practical strategies drawn from several approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that make problems worse. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

Her background includes work as a peer specialist and, over time, a move into clinical mental health counseling. Anna holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) credentials in Colorado and Washington respectively, and she has four years of clinical experience. That mix of lived and clinical experience shapes a direct, compassionate style.

In sessions she focuses on small, concrete steps people can try between meetings. That might mean practicing new habits, trying a different type of thought record, or rehearsing a short coping skill for a hard moment. She also supports people dealing with hoarding concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder when those issues come up.

People who want clear, down-to-earth guidance about changing thoughts and everyday habits will find a practical approach in her work. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

How Anna uses CBT and DBT online

Anna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and unhelpful habits. CBT sessions focus on simple exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that people can try between meetings.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are practical skills to use when emotions feel intense and routines break down.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She treats the plan as adjustable and checks in regularly to make sure strategies feel helpful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so people can focus on practice. Licensed professionals can deliver CBT and DBT skills effectively over remote sessions when the approach and scheduling match the client's needs.
