Anna Klosek, LPC

Anna Klosek brings a broad background in psychology and counseling to her clinical work, combining academic training with diverse experience in schools, medical settings, and social service organizations. She earned a Master of Arts in Psychology in 2000 and an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in School Psychology in 2001 from Marshall University, and completed additional post-graduate coursework in counseling at Liberty University and Marshall University. Anna is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - in West Virginia (WV LPC 2458) and is certified as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional by Evergreen Certifications.

With 16 years of professional counseling experience, she has worked as a school psychologist and in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health roles. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, and trauma, and she also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, family issues, workplace challenges, and women's issues. Anna emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual needs and strengths of the person she is supporting.

She uses an eclectic, strengths-based approach and frequently integrates cognitive behavioral strategies alongside other modalities. Anna has completed coursework that explores incorporating Christianity into counseling and has been a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors for many years; she is open to using prayer, scripture, or other Christian elements in therapy when a client wishes to include them. Her practice is collaborative, focused on empowering clients to make changes that support a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Anna Klosek draws on client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where goals and pacing are guided by the individual. This approach helps people who want to explore personal values, build self-understanding, and strengthen relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Because of her trauma certification, Anna incorporates trauma-focused techniques when needed to address the effects of past traumatic experiences and to support recovery at a pace that feels safe for the client. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process; Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people working with Anna. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time, face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible options for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is difficult. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into a busy life, while still working with a licensed professional who tailors treatment to individual circumstances.
