Anna Hallinan, LCSW, CSW

Anna Hallinan provides warm, client-centered therapy for individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, shame, identity shifts, and relationship challenges. She cultivates a calm, attentive space where people can slow down, become curious about what they are experiencing, and restore connection with themselves and important people in their lives.

Her work integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and somatic techniques to support meaningful, embodied healing. Anna’s style is relational and collaborative, grounded in the belief that growth is most likely when clients feel seen, heard, and met with compassion. Her practice is trauma-informed and embraces Health at Every Size and fat-positive therapy values, with particular attention to body image, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection within intimate relationships.

Anna brings experience from both private practice and community mental health settings. She earned a Master’s in Social Work from Metropolitan State University and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - the LCSW denotes a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Colorado. Her presence is steady, warm, and attuned, offering an anchor for those doing deep inner work or seeking to regain their footing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing

Anna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present - this approach supports managing anxiety, shame, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness-based practices are woven into sessions to build present-moment awareness and reduce emotional overwhelm, helping clients feel more grounded in their bodies and relationships.

Determining the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Anna works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors techniques so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Anna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to adapt to the rhythms of daily life.
