About Anne
Anne "Annie" Bateman is a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses guilt and shame alongside issues like panic, isolation, and caregiver stress.
Annie focuses on straightforward conversation about what feels heavy right now. She aims to make it possible to talk through upsetting events, difficult decisions, or ongoing patterns that keep showing up. Sessions involve listening, asking practical questions, and exploring what has helped or hindered in the past.
Her background includes a decade of clinical social work in settings where people faced crisis, trauma, and life transitions. That experience informs how she notices patterns and links between past events and current feelings. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work rather than relying on quick fixes.
In the room she attends to feelings that often go unspoken, like guilt and shame, and to behaviors that follow those feelings. She will help identify small, concrete steps to test new ways of coping and communicating. Progress is discussed in everyday terms, with attention to what is realistic for each person.
Sessions are offered in English and Anne accepts international clients. If someone is ready to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to talk about goals and next steps.
How Anne uses evidence-based methods in online work
Anne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying patterns and testing practical changes. One common approach she uses helps people recognize how past events link to current thoughts and reactions, then practices new responses to reduce intense emotional reactions. This method can be useful for trauma, panic, and persistent guilt.Another approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stressful moments. It teaches concrete breathing and grounding strategies, and ways to break large problems into manageable steps. These skills are often used alongside discussions about values and what matters in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adjust the plan as people learn what helps and what does not, and she checks in about progress in regular sessions.
