About Anat

Dr. Anat Anais is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of practice in New York. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.

Anais has worked with people from many backgrounds and many kinds of life challenges over 30 years.

Background and approach

Her long experience helps her notice patterns and practical ways forward. Her style is person-centered and strengths-based. She treats each person as an individual and avoids a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the person in front of her, and goals are set together. Dr. Anais draws on several approaches to meet different needs.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and connection, attachment-based ideas to examine relationship roots, and cognitive strategies when people want tools to change thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and narrative approaches are used when someone needs help clarifying values or rewriting a difficult story.

Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

Emotion-focused and attachment work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting emotional responses. It helps people notice core feelings and how those feelings affect relationships and choices. EFT can be useful for people struggling with connection, grief, or strong reactive emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and offers ways to change those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to set the pace and topics of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and support.

The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of approaches. She discusses goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as work progresses. Deciding what helps most is part of the process and happens together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer shorter written exchanges. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy in step with daily life.
