About Anna
Anna Zakrocka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people build practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Anna blends mental and physical wellbeing in her work and supports people facing trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria issues.
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. Anna completed a PhD in holistic health in December 2023 and has training in trauma-informed yoga and Baptiste-style yoga. These experiences shape how she looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
In sessions she relies on clear, down-to-earth conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behavior patterns and incorporates motivational interviewing to support change. Mindfulness techniques and emotionally-focused ideas are brought in when they fit the client's goals.
Anna commonly helps people with eating and sleep problems, addiction concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and challenges around attachment, abandonment, or intimacy. She also works with issues like body image, guilt and shame, dissociation, and impulsivity.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person's needs. She aims to build skills clients can use between sessions and to make progress that matters in daily life.

How Anna's approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on gentle questions and reflection to build motivation for steps like quitting a habit or improving self-care.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and goals. The therapist listens closely, validates experience, and follows the client's lead to identify what matters most in therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and practical coping skills training.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Anna collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She adjusts pacing and techniques as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and doable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different approaches lend themselves to different rhythms of work - for example, CBT can pair well with structured homework, while client-centered conversation can be more open-ended. Ask about format options when you schedule to find what fits your routine. -
