About Anne
Anne Ethier is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses concerns such as attachment struggles, body image, codependency, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She draws on a long background in health and wellness that began well before private practice. That experience shapes a practical, body-aware way of working with emotions and patterns. Sessions pay attention to what happens in the present moment in the body as well as the thoughts people bring to therapy.
Work in sessions often blends cognitive exploration with somatic awareness. That means talking through thoughts and habits while noticing physical sensations and reactions. This approach is used to help people recognize how past experiences keep showing up now and to try different, healthier responses.
Anne also meets with couples who want clearer communication, greater trust, and better emotional connection. Conversations include ways to change interaction patterns and to rebuild closeness in practical steps.
She frames therapy as a process of examining causes and practicing new ways of responding. People who bring concerns such as post-traumatic stress, addiction, eating issues, or persistent guilt and shame will find focused attention on both mind and body. The goal is clearer understanding and steady, manageable change over time.
Working with body-aware and present-focused approaches online
Anne blends somatic awareness with cognitive-based work. Somatic awareness involves noticing physical sensations, breath, and muscle tone to help identify how emotions show up in the body. It can be useful for trauma responses, anxiety, and learning new ways to calm intense feelings.She also uses present-moment, experiential approaches that focus on what is happening now in the session. Those methods emphasize observation of thoughts and behaviors as they occur, and they help people try small changes in how they respond to difficult memories or interactions.
Choosing the right set of methods is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the issue, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to find practical ways to reduce shame, manage guilt, and change unhelpful patterns.
Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. For some people, not being in the same room makes it easier to talk, while others prefer more embodied exercises that may need guidance about posture or movement during a session. Licensed professionals can help match session style and length to what suits each person.
