About Anne

Anne McHale Miller is a therapist in Texas

Hi, I’m Anne. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and board approved Clinical Supervisor with 17 years of mental health experience. Life can be a lot; it can be too much or not enough or the same thing day in and day out. One thing I have come to learn is that it can be hard for everyone. I work with adults who seemingly have it all together despite their only reminder to “breathe” coming from their Apple Watch. Everything is always “fine” to others but they feel like they are in a constant fog, going through the motions and completely overwhelmed. If beneath your hard working and helpful exterior, is someone struggling with the day to day, yet you ignore it to help everyone but yourself, you are my people.

I could not survive in a world without my dogs, Dunkin Donuts coffee, Candy Crush, my Kindle, sarcasm, a solid playlist and reruns of Gilmore Girls, The Office or Schitts Creek. I am the classic introvert that everyone assumes is an extrovert, who relies on humor, and occasionally full on denial to battle all that life throws my way.

My experience in mental health has primarily focused on working with adolescents and adults. I have extensive experience in struggles related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, crisis intervention, relationships, life transitions and everyday stress. I received my Masters in Social Work degree from Boston College in 2007. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Practitioner.

That’s enough about me; I want to know you and your story.

Approach to Therapy

With more than 17 years in mental health, I bring a straightforward approach to therapy. I’m not here to give you a scripted therapy session or impress you with fancy terminology, just honest conversation to work through the challenges impacting your life.

When you choose to work with me, you can anticipate authenticity, real conversation, and practical solutions. Overall, I believe that effective therapy is built on a foundation of trust, open communication and may involve the occasional curse word.

I utilize a blend of evidence based practices that are tailored to meet the needs of my clients. Here is how I work:

  • Client Centered Therapy: You are the focus of our sessions. We will set goals and work on things meaningful to you.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: We will explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to identify unhelpful patterns and develop coping strategies

  • Strength Based Therapy: I believe in highlighting the strengths and resources my clients already have and empowering them to face challenges with confidence.

  • Trauma Therapy: Understanding the way in which trauma can impact your life can be powerful as you process traumatic experiences and build resiliency.
