About Annis

Annis Reyes Frias is a licensed clinical social worker who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 13 years of experience to conversations about feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed. She aims to make the first steps simple and steady.

In sessions she listens, asks clear questions, and helps people name what’s hardest right now. Together clients build small, practical steps to reduce anxiety and boost day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

Her approach combines evidence-informed therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with trauma-focused tools such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She uses client-centered principles to keep the work focused on each person’s values and pace. Expect a calm, direct style that balances emotional processing with skills practice.

Conversations often include noticing unhelpful thinking, practicing new behavior, and learning breathing or grounding techniques to manage intense feelings. Goals are practical and tied to real life changes like communication, mood, or daily routines. Annis works from Arizona and holds LCSW credentials in Illinois and Arizona.

If someone wants to explore life purpose, recover from separation or divorce, or grow self-love, she offers a steady, collaborative way to move forward.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more workable thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing painful memories so they feel less intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on symptoms, goals, and comfort level. Plans are revisited regularly so the approach matches changing needs and progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, share quick updates, and keep momentum while fitting therapy into busy days.
