Anna Zakrocka , LPC

Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who combines clinical training with a holistic outlook to support adolescents and adults working through trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. With 10 years of experience, she draws on a blend of mental health and physical wellness education to help people build sustainable coping skills and improve overall quality of life.

She holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan and a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Arlington. In December 2023 she completed a PhD in Holistic Health from Wroclaw University in Poland, a degree that informs her integrated approach to mental and physical well-being. She is also Trauma Care Institute certified and trained in trauma-informed yoga as well as Baptiste style yoga, bringing somatic and body-aware methods into her work when appropriate.

Anna uses a wide variety of therapeutic methods with a particular affinity for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she specializes in trauma-informed care and integrated well-being. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating-related issues, and parenting and family dynamics. She aims to help people identify practical pathways toward healthier patterns and greater resilience.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Anna often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-understanding and personal growth. This approach is especially helpful for clients navigating identity questions, attachment concerns, or feelings of emptiness.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and certain patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Finally, Mindfulness Therapy informs her work by teaching present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, supporting recovery from trauma and ongoing stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Anna partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the work remains aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
