About Annisha
She brings lived experience as an Army veteran and professional experience as a victim specialist working with law enforcement, perspectives that inform her calm, direct, and supportive therapeutic style. Annisha emphasizes a collaborative approach to healing - she works with each person to set goals that reflect their priorities rather than imposing a single method.
Rather than relying on one fixed model, she draws from multiple therapeutic methods to tailor care to the individual and the situation. Her manner is warm, encouraging, and straightforward, creating a space where people can process difficult emotions, practice acceptance of imperfection, and find strength to redirect their lives. Annisha views obstacles as opportunities for growth and aims to help clients reclaim agency and move toward meaningful change.
She looks forward to connecting with people ready to explore change and build resilience.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Annisha Dunaway integrates several evidence-based approaches to meet each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with their values - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and pace, offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment that supports self-exploration and confidence building. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical skills to manage mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Annisha works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and life context. She tailors techniques from these approaches to create a personalized plan and adjusts the plan as clients progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations within the therapist's practice area, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable. Annisha adapts her methods to work effectively across these formats so clients can pursue growth in a way that suits their life.
