Getting to know Anna Sexton

As a licensed therapist with extensive experience in the field, I specialize in supporting kids, teens, and adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and executive functioning challenges. I help clients move past feeling stuck so they can start experiencing real progress at school, at work, and at home. How We Work Together: Identify Clear Goals: We pinpoint exactly what success looks like for you or your child. Build Practical Systems: We develop personalized tools for emotional regulation, organization, and social communication. Strengthen the Support Network: I partner with parents and caregivers to ensure strategies work consistently across all environments. Using proven approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, Play Therapy, and Strengths-Based Therapy, I offer a clear, supportive space designed to help you build confidence and thrive. Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

What should a new client know about working with you?

Having worked across public and therapeutic school settings, I know firsthand the challenges families face when trying to balance academic, social, and home life. I partner directly with clients and parents to turn overwhelming challenges into small, momentum-building victories. Together, we focus on what success looks like in your real, day-to-day life—whether that means fewer homework meltdowns, better stress management, or clearer family communication. I combine Strengths-Based Therapy, CBT, Person-Centered Care, and Play Therapy to create a space where you feel genuinely supported, never judged. Every strategy we use is customized to your unique strengths so you can achieve lasting, meaningful progress on your own terms.
