    About Anniesha

    Dr. Anniesha Walker welcomes people who feel stuck by stress, grief, or big life changes. She understands how loss, work problems, and relationship strain can make daily life harder. She keeps things straightforward and practical so clients can start feeling different sooner.

    Dr. Walker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience. She has provided care in hospitals, schools, and community mental health centers. That background means she has worked with many kinds of life situations and systems.

    Her approach draws on several well-known methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions she helps people identify what matters, try small changes, and build skills to manage thoughts and feelings.

    She pays attention to culture, faith, and each person’s history, including trauma. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and explore options at their own pace. Practical tools and clear steps are emphasized over jargon.

    Dr. Walker also helps with parenting stress, workplace issues, compassion fatigue, and questions about purpose. She addresses concerns like anger, intimacy, self-esteem, and ADHD-related struggles. Her style aims to be steady, direct, and hopeful.

  2. How these approaches translate to online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. In practice this means gentle questions, reflecting what a person says, and building motivation step by step. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

    These methods are explored together with attachment-based and client-centered ideas that emphasize understanding relationships and listening without judgment. The therapist will work collaboratively to test what feels helpful, and adjust methods based on your goals and preferences rather than using one fixed path.

    Confirm the available session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins between errands, sessions during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. It also allows continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can discuss which approach and session rhythm will best match your needs during the first meetings.
