About Anna
Anna Mazek-Vann is a licensed counselor who brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and those seeking executive coaching.
Background and approach
She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Illinois, combining professional training with a practical, client-centered sensibility. Her approach focuses on helping clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and develop sustainable strategies for coping and growth.
She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and practical concerns such as communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, isolation, money and financial stress, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, social anxiety, and issues specific to women and the workplace.
Her work also addresses themes like abandonment, self-love, and rebuilding after loss. Sessions emphasize collaboration, with attention to goals that matter to each person.
Anna offers a flexible mix of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She helps clients take the first steps toward meaningful change and supports progress over time, tailoring tools and interventions to individual needs and circumstances.
Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online
Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on skills and structured work to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more adaptive thinking, which can be especially useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Trauma-informed methods emphasize safety, pacing, and processing of distressing experiences to support recovery after abuse or other traumatic events.Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, clarify goals, and select techniques that fit personal preferences and life circumstances. Adjustments are made over time so interventions remain aligned with progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and greater access to licensed professionals. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work and other responsibilities, and they allow therapists to tailor session types to what works best for each person.
