About Anchanese
Anchanese Levison is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, ADHD, and issues tied to intimacy, self-esteem, career, and compassion fatigue. She also notes work related to blended family challenges, caregiving stress, commitment and communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Levison trained in psychology at Tougaloo College and completed a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Mental/Behavioral Health at Mississippi College. Her background includes roles in psychiatric residential treatment facilities, college counseling programs, and community treatment settings. That variety means she has experience with people from different backgrounds and with different life stresses.
In sessions she centers the person’s experience and listens first. She uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters to the client. She also draws on tools from dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to address emotion regulation, decision points, and practical steps forward.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She helps clients identify small, workable changes and practice new skills between meetings. People who bring feelings of guilt or shame, questions about relationships, or pressure from caregiving or work often use sessions to talk through what to try next.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and prioritizing what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation focused on the client’s goals, values, and immediate concerns, which can be useful for sorting through guilt, relationship strain, or caregiving stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. In virtual work, DBT exercises and emotion-regulation skills can be practiced during sessions and repeated between meetings to build steadier responses to shame or anger.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Online sessions can include guided mindfulness practices and short exercises that fit into a busy day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, current challenges, and personal preference. This tends to be a step-by-step process rather than a single decision.
The biography does not specify particular session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or school commitments, and it can allow for brief check-ins or longer therapy sessions depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most helpful.
