About Anna
Anna Claybaugh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people build connection and live more authentically. Anna brings ten years of clinical experience and a calm, direct manner to sessions. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people across a wide range of life stressors and transitions.
Anna often supports people who struggle to ask for what they need or who feel stuck by perfectionism and people pleasing.
Background and approach
She also works with those in caring professions who face compassion fatigue. As a queer clinician, Anna brings an informed perspective to sexual and gender diversity concerns. Her approach blends Jungian ideas about meaning and symbols with attachment-based and client-centered ways of relating in the room.
Anna also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when those tools fit the situation. She describes her style as warm, relaxed, and inviting while remaining practical and goal focused. In sessions Anna helps identify patterns that get in the way, teaches coping skills, and supports clients in reclaiming agency over their choices.
She combines knowledge of brain science with psychotherapy methods to tailor care to each person. Her work includes support for anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career transitions, and bipolar disorder.
Anna earned two B.A. degrees in psychology and gender studies from Arizona State University and a Master of Social Work from New York University. She holds the LCSW and LICSW credentials and has additional trainings in several trauma-informed methods.

Online support
Approach, meaning, and how online sessions help
Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and personal meaning to help people connect with deeper parts of themselves. It can be useful when someone wants to understand recurring patterns or find more purpose in their life.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people recognize and change patterns that cause anxiety, distance, or repeated conflict in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, mixing Jungian, attachment, client-centered, CBT, or EMDR elements as appropriate. That collaboration happens openly, with regular check-ins about what is helping and what to adjust.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when that is important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when travel or local constraints make in-person sessions harder.
