About Anna
Anna Mazek-Vann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 15 years of experience. She practices in Illinois and works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and coaching needs. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her focus areas.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name what feels hard and build small, practical steps forward. Sessions are aimed at improving coping skills, reducing intense reactions, and clarifying goals for work and personal life. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what each person can manage.
Her background includes work across several states and a mix of clinical and coaching roles. That blend supports work on workplace issues, executive coaching, and life transitions like divorce and separation. She also addresses mood concerns, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions she helps people sort through communication problems, feelings of abandonment, loneliness, and money or financial stress. She also focuses on topics some people describe as self-love and women's issues. The approach favors practical skills alongside talking through painful events.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. This is useful for social anxiety and phobia and for managing panic attacks.Another approach emphasizes problem-solving for workplace and relationship concerns. Sessions may include rehearsal of conversations, checking assumptions, and planning concrete next steps for communication or boundary-setting. This supports people dealing with conflict, divorce and separation issues, or career stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. That collaborative process helps shape goals and decide which techniques to try first.
The site requires completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the platform. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a break from work or between other commitments.
