About Anna
Anna Claybaugh, LCSW, LICSW brings ten years of clinical social work experience to therapy with a warm and direct style. Anna focuses on helping people speak their needs, push back against harsh self-talk, and reclaim a sense of worth. Anna is a queer, non-binary clinician who often supports people in the LGBTQIA2S+ community and those in caregiving or healing professions.
Anna helps people identify what blocks them from change and teaches practical skills to cope with stress and anxiety. Sessions use a trauma-informed, compassion-centered, and decolonized framework that combines brain science with psychotherapeutic methods. Anna aims to make therapy feel welcoming and nonjudgmental while being straightforward about steps toward change.
Clients come for support with issues like grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, eating and sleeping concerns, career stress, and self esteem. Anna has experience with trauma, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and life transitions, and brings an individualized approach to each person's goals.
Anna tailors the therapeutic plan using approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, and Jungian ideas. She values collaboration and meets people where they are in the process of change.
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. The therapist holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and additional trainings in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT. Practical next steps include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
