About Anna
Anna McIver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of therapy experience in Maine. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, and mood-related struggles. Anna takes a calm, compassionate approach and aims to help people find steady ways to move forward.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship and intimacy issues.
Background and approach
Sessions are client-centered, which means conversations are shaped around each person's goals and priorities. Anna often works with individuals handling life changes like pregnancy and postpartum challenges, fertility concerns, or planning for parenthood. She also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, anger, and the complicated feelings that come with grief and loss.
Her approach brings together skill-building and emotional support so clients can manage day-to-day pressures more easily. In sessions she focuses on clear, actionable steps - like coping skills, boundary setting, and communication practice - alongside space to process feelings.
She pays attention to attachment and body-image concerns when those come up, and she helps people sort codependency or commitment questions in straightforward terms. People can expect a respectful, attuned presence and collaborative goal-setting. Anna welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a person's life and discusses what to expect in early sessions.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people understand connection and trust in close relationships. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, codependency, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing different ways to respond; it helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods as needed. That way the plan reflects both the client's needs and the therapist's clinical perspective.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and skills practice, phone can be useful when bandwidth is lower or to fit a break in a day, chat or text work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
