Anne Rochon

Anne Rochon is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Washington who centers her work on mindfulness and a client-centered approach. She invites people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed to take a next step and offers steady support as they figure out what helps. Her style is calm and practical, with a focus on small changes that build better days.

She brings ten years of experience to sessions and draws on several approaches to meet individual needs. That can include mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and eye movement work for trauma-related memories. Sessions also use motivational interviewing to clarify values and support real change.

In conversation, Anne helps people try new thinking patterns and practice new skills. She focuses on changing habits that no longer serve and on discovering values and goals that matter. The work aims to make daily life more manageable and more meaningful, one step at a time.

Anne pays attention to trauma history and to the ways social and cultural factors shape experience. She also supports people facing issues such as grief, identity questions, relationship styles like polyamory, and sexual expression topics including kink and BDSM. Her approach is nonjudgmental and respectful of each person’s path.

Practical outcomes she emphasizes include clearer decision making, more confidence in choices, greater ease with stress, and skills to act despite fear. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs, with the goal of helping people build a life that feels satisfying to them.

How mindfulness and focused approaches work online

Anne uses mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily signals and reduce reactivity, which can ease anxiety and stress. Mindfulness exercises are simple and practical, such as grounding techniques and short breath practices that can be used between sessions.

Client-centered therapy is about listening and following the person’s pace. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can clarify values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anne will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and try strategies that fit. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep regular momentum between meetings. It can support shorter check-ins, practice of mindfulness skills during the week, and easier access for international clients.
