About Anat
Dr. Anat Anais helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship problems, trauma, and mood concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of practice in New York.
She talks plainly and focuses on practical changes that make daily life easier. She uses a person-centered, strengths-based way of working. Sessions start with what matters most to the client and then build a plan together.
That plan can include coping skills, communication practice, and ways to reduce overwhelming emotions.
Background and approach
Her approach draws from several therapies rather than one single method. She blends Attachment-Based ideas about connection with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift thinking and behavior. Emotionally-Focused and motivational techniques also show up in sessions when they fit the goal.
Dr. Anais has worked with people from many backgrounds on issues such as grief, addiction, body image, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with divorce, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse.
Conversations can include problem-solving for sleep and eating troubles, strategies for parenting challenges, and steps to manage anger or career stress. English and Hebrew are both available for sessions. Her practice reflects a flexible, collaborative stance that centers each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways people connect and relate. Online sessions can help uncover patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting with partners or children. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build new habits.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That keeps therapy flexible and focused on what actually helps day to day.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, do shorter check-ins, or pace work in smaller steps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
