Getting to know Zachary Anast

Hi there, I'm Zachary! Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when anxiety, intrusive thoughts, panic, or stress have started interfering with your everyday life. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, panic, stress, and depression. My focus I primarily work with anxiety, OCD, panic, stress, and depression. Whether you’re caught in cycles of worry, struggling with intrusive thoughts, experiencing panic attacks, or feeling overwhelmed, we’ll work together to develop healthier ways of responding and help you feel less controlled by anxiety. My approach I use CBT, ACT, and DBT to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. For OCD and anxiety, I often incorporate ERP principles to help you respond differently to intrusive thoughts and reduce compulsive or avoidant patterns. We’ll focus on both challenging thoughts and practical skills you can use in everyday life. My communication style I’m warm, straightforward, and non-judgmental. I’ll listen carefully while also helping you identify practical steps toward change. I believe therapy works best when we can be honest about what’s working and what isn’t, while working collaboratively toward meaningful progress. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and hearing their stories. I was drawn to the idea of doing work that feels meaningful while helping people navigate some of the harder parts of life. I especially enjoy helping people understand themselves better and make real changes. My goals for you Together, we’ll identify what you want to change and turn those goals into realistic steps. This might mean reducing panic, responding differently to intrusive thoughts, breaking cycles of avoidance or reassurance-seeking, managing stress, or improving your mood.
