About Annis
Annis Reyes Frias helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. She supports adults coping with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and big life changes like divorce or loss. Annis uses clear, practical steps to help people feel steadier and more capable.
She keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. Conversations often look at unhelpful thinking, build new coping skills, and practice small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
She blends different methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Annis brings 13 years of professional experience to her work. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and practices with that background in mind.
Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at real-world results you can notice between sessions. People who work with her often address communication problems, questions about life purpose, and building self-love. She also helps with divorce and separation concerns and teaches ways to manage stress in daily life.
Sessions are conversational and task-oriented when helpful. Therapy is conducted in English and Spanish for those who prefer either language. Annis is based in Arizona and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when anxiety or stress keep someone from doing what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process painful memories so they feel less overwhelming and intrusive in day-to-day life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on values and action, thought work, trauma processing, or a mix of methods that fits the situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see facial cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
