About Annis

Annis Reyes Frias is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression. She supports individuals dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people find steady footing and clearer direction.

She uses practical exercises and talk-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and hypnotherapy are among the approaches she brings into sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of trauma work when appropriate. Sessions focus on concrete skills as well as processing painful experiences.

She helps people build coping tools, improve communication, and clarify their life purpose. For someone facing a divorce or separation, the work often combines emotion regulation and problem-solving around next steps. Her manner aims to create a calm, listening space where clients feel respected and understood.

Conversations are collaborative - goals are set together and progress is checked along the way. Spanish and English sessions are available for people who prefer either language. Annis is licensed as an LCSW in Illinois and Arizona and is based in Arizona.

She blends evidence-based methods with practical skill-building so clients can try new ways of responding between sessions and see what works for them.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Hypnotherapy is a conversational method that can help people access relaxed focus and shift unhelpful patterns of thought. In sessions it may be used to reduce anxiety, strengthen self-esteem, or support behavior change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out alternative responses. It tends to be practical and skill-focused, which can help with mood, worry, and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques and checking in about what helps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflection, or continuing work between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and adapt therapy to changing schedules.
