Getting to know Anne Baker

I work with adults, couples, families, new and expectant parents, and older adults navigating the many shifts that life brings. Whether you’re a college student managing anxiety for the first time, a couple navigating separation or parenting challenges, or someone facing the complexities of chronic illness, grief, or aging—I provide a steady, supportive presence to help you feel more grounded and empowered. My work focuses on helping clients navigate anxiety, panic disorder, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, and life transitions. I support people through periods of growth, grief, and identity shifts—whether that’s related to career changes, becoming a parent, or moving through stages of aging. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients and believe that each person and family has unique strengths and stories that deserve to be honored.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I received my Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University and my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in the state of Illinois. I’m currently pursuing specialized training in perinatal mental health to better support new and expecting mothers, and in animal-assisted therapy as another avenue for healing. My training and experience have shaped me into a flexible and empathetic clinician who believes deeply in meeting people where they are and building forward from there.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I believe that therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Together, we’ll explore not just what’s going wrong, but what’s already strong within you. I use a person-centered, strength-based approach, integrating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you develop tools and insights that are both practical and meaningful. Whether you’re looking for support through a specific issue or hoping to better understand yourself and your relationships, we’ll work together to create a space where growth can happen.
