About Anne

Anne McLaren is a Wisconsin-licensed therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation struggles, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly and honestly, and she works collaboratively to help individuals explore what is keeping them stuck and what they need to move forward.

Anne emphasizes practical tools and compassionate guidance so clients can build confidence, increase motivation, and address relationship patterns that interfere with well-being. She recognizes that seeking help takes courage and treats each step toward change as an important achievement. Her approach balances emotional support with skill-building to help people manage symptoms and discover more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others.

Clients can expect a steady, encouraging presence that aims to empower them in the process of change. Anne’s practice centers on partnership - helping people set realistic goals, try new strategies, and celebrate progress along the way.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Anne McLaren draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, giving people space to explore feelings and priorities while the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster self-discovery and increased self-worth. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. The Gottman Method provides structured tools for couples to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection through evidence-informed exercises and shared goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anne collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual or couple.

Online therapy with Anne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from their home or other convenient locations and to choose the format that fits their comfort level and lifestyle.
