About Anne
Her clinical practice routinely addresses unresolved history, including trauma and abuse, and she helps clients process these experiences while bolstering self-esteem and confidence. Anne emphasizes meeting clients where they are, identifying what motivates them, and building on existing strengths to develop practical coping strategies for both unexpected and anticipated changes.
Anne also works with concerns commonly tied to aging and serious illness, such as caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, chronic pain and disability, hospice and end-of-life issues, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She encourages the courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life and supports clients through their processes by creating an open, nonjudgmental space for sharing thoughts and feelings.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Anne DeFederico draws from client-centered therapy and emotionally-focused therapy to guide online sessions in a way that centers the individual's experience. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping clients clarify personal goals, build self-esteem, and find coping strategies that fit their daily lives. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and processing strong emotions within relationships and individual experience, which can be helpful for those working through grief, loss, or trauma. Narrative therapy is also used to help clients reframe life stories and legacy concerns by separating problems from identity and exploring new meanings.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Anne collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the approach as progress is made and priorities shift. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking care from licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions provide face-to-face connection when in-person meetings are not possible, while live chat and text-based messaging allow for flexible, on-the-go interactions. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to fit therapy into varied schedules and life circumstances.
