Annah Courson, LPC

Annah Courson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 23 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and brings many strengths to the work of healing and growth.

Her clinical focus includes stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, depression, addictions, LGBT and intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, career transitions, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also addresses family problems, obsessions and compulsions, panic disorder and panic attacks, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Annah emphasizes a collaborative, respectful process that centers the client’s goals and preferences. She values listening deeply and helping people connect their existing strengths to practical steps forward. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors the decision to reach out for support, offering steady professional guidance along the way.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and support that follows the client’s pace and goals. This approach helps people build self-understanding, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate relationship or life changes by focusing on the individual’s perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessions, and related difficulties. CBT offers concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions and adapted to daily routines.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences and teaching coping skills to reduce distress and improve functioning. It helps people process difficult memories and build safer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Annah works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches is the best fit based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process includes reviewing options, adjusting course as progress is made, and centering the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to receive consistent support around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are not feasible.
