01About Anna
Anna Mazek-Vann is a licensed counselor with 15 years of practice who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and trauma. She approaches sessions with a straightforward, supportive style and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or busy professional.
She creates a space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps that can reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
She also integrates coaching elements when clients want help with career or executive concerns. Her work reflects experience across multiple settings and a long career in mental health. That background informs how she responds to panic, obsessive thoughts, mood shifts, and post-traumatic stress.
She pays attention to problems that often come together, like isolation, communication breakdowns, and money-related stress. People bring a wide range of issues, including relationship conflict, separation and divorce, abandonment worries, social anxiety, and women's issues. Treatment moves at a client’s pace and emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
Anna holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and practices in Illinois. Over time she helps people clarify goals, try new ways of coping, and build routines that support healthier habits.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a practical way. One approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and behavioral experiments to test fearful predictions. These tools help people reduce intense symptoms and regain a sense of control.Another common thread is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences at a manageable pace. This involves grounding strategies, pacing, and building safety so memories and reactions can be addressed without becoming overwhelming. A coaching-oriented approach is also used for executive or workplace goals, breaking larger objectives into step-by-step tasks and accountability.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist evaluates your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggests techniques to try. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adapt methods when something isn’t working well.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, live chat suits brief exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing, low-effort communication between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school routines.
