Anne Sizemore, LCSW

Anne Sizemore is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of professional experience in Indiana. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Anne aims to offer straightforward support so clients can take steps toward feeling better.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Conversations are grounded and direct, with an emphasis on small, doable changes that fit into daily life. She encourages clients to notice what matters to them and to move toward those values.

Anne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and helps people try new patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. Those approaches guide sessions but are adapted to each person's needs.

Sessions are practical and goal oriented. Anne helps people break big problems into smaller steps and build coping tools for stress, compassion fatigue, chronic pain, or recovery after traumatic events. She also supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth issues or wrestling with guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose.

Her style is supportive and straightforward. People who prefer clear strategies, honest conversation, and steady encouragement often find her approach helpful.

CBT and ACT approaches for online care

Anne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills for daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing difficult emotions without getting stuck and committing to actions that match a person's values; it can help when avoidance or uncertainty gets in the way.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to learn what matters to them, try methods that match their goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That teamwork helps shape sessions over time and keeps the focus on practical progress.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and ongoing messaging can support steady reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what works best for their schedule and needs.
