Anna McIver , LCSW

Anna McIver is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. She practices from a client-centered perspective and integrates mindfulness-informed cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people gain insight, build practical skills, and manage difficult emotions.

She partners with clients to identify their needs and goals, offering guidance and encouragement as they work toward meaningful change. Over the course of her career she has focused on mood disorders, grief and loss, chronic illness, parenting challenges, and fertility-related concerns, including work with individuals and couples who are trying to conceive.

Anna brings a warm, compassionate style to therapy and places a high value on emotional attunement and strong rapport. Creating a space that feels hopeful and responsive is central to her approach, and she emphasizes careful listening so clients can more easily name what they need and take next steps toward well-being. She looks forward to supporting people through change and challenge.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Anna McIver frequently draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; this approach can help people who struggle with attachment issues, relationship patterns, or intimacy-related concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so the client’s priorities guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another core element of her practice, offering clear strategies to address patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or difficulty coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Anna helps clients identify their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing treatment alongside other responsibilities, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without geographic limits.
