Annis Reyes Frias

Annis Reyes Frias is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She welcomes those who feel stuck after trauma, separation, or big life changes and offers steady support while people regain their footing.

She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to reduce anxiety and ease low mood. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building coping skills that fit daily life. She also helps people improve communication and clarify values when they are wondering what comes next.

Annis blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. That can include mindfulness practices to calm the body, cognitive techniques to shift thoughts, and trauma-focused work when painful memories get in the way. Therapy aims to be collaborative and paced to what feels safe for the individual.

Her style is warm and direct. She creates a space to talk through upsetting experiences and practice new ways of coping. The emphasis is on simple tools that can be used between sessions to handle stress and improve relationships.

Annis is licensed in Illinois and Arizona as an LCSW, and she sees clients from her Arizona location. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches used online and how they help

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and calm the nervous system. It can help when anxiety or stress makes it hard to think clearly or sleep well.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. It helps people tolerate difficult feelings while building a life that feels meaningful.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening-focused relationship. The therapist follows the person's concerns and supports them in finding their own solutions rather than directing every choice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping progress consistent when life is hectic. Because session formats are not specified in the original biography, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, avoid travel time, or have a shorter follow-up when needed.
