About Anat
Dr. Anat Anais is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 30 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and other concerns. She speaks English and Hebrew and helps clients talk through practical problems and emotional pain.
Her style is grounded in a person-centered, humanistic outlook. She focuses on strengths and works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. Sessions center on clear goals, steady listening, and techniques that match what the person needs in the moment.
Dr. Anais draws from several approaches rather than using a single method. She uses ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. That mix lets her address sleep problems, parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy.
She trained at Adelphi University, earning a master’s degree and a doctorate in social work. Over the years she has worked with people from many backgrounds and with many different challenges, including trauma, relationship conflict, and parenting stress.
In sessions she aims for collaboration. She helps people set realistic steps, practice small changes, and notice what works. People who want to start can expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies, and a focus on improving day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional safety. In practice this means noticing patterns in close relationships and building new ways of relating that lessen anxiety and improve closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions connect. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and develop routines that can improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out what fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a quick progress review is helpful, and it can make scheduling around work or childcare simpler. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available and to choose what will work best for day-to-day needs.
