About Anne

Anne Fox is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger.

Background and approach

With two decades of clinical experience, she draws on multiple therapeutic traditions to create individualized plans that reflect each client’s goals and circumstances. Her work also includes attention to related concerns such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, mood and personality disorders, OCD and panic, substance concerns, domestic violence, and aging-related challenges.

Anne emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance in sessions, building on client strengths and preferences. She adapts interventions from Internal Family Systems, attachment-informed approaches, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and psychodynamic perspectives to fit what a person most needs in the moment.

Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process, with Anne helping clients identify priorities, set achievable goals, and develop practical steps toward change while honoring the courage it takes to begin.

Integrating Relational and Parts-Oriented Work in Online Therapy

Anne often uses Internal Family Systems, which helps people explore the different parts of themselves, understand how those parts interact, and reduce internal conflict to ease symptoms like anxiety and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand she draws on, focusing on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, and it can be useful for resolving family conflicts and improving closeness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, try approaches that fit the client’s needs and preferences, and adapt techniques over time so treatment feels aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy with this clinician offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access a licensed professional from home. The variety of formats allows therapy to be paced and shaped to suit different comfort levels and communication styles.
