Ms. Anna Breaux practices counseling in Fredericksburg, VA.

"I scheduled an in-person visit but it was changed to a video visit at the last minute, without notifying me. Anna was then apathetic and dismissive. She did NOT listen to what my concerns are, but rather fixated on one (small) aspect and decided nothing else mattered. This was only an initial consultation. At the end of our visit she made it clear that she did not have any desire to help me and instead gave me a website for online/telephone therapy (after I specifically told her I'm not comfortable doing therapy online or over the phone). DO NOT EXPECT HELP FROM THIS WOMAN! You're better off taking a walk and talking to your own shadow."

What is Counseling?

Counseling is a type of professional guidance for handling problems in life. There are many types of counselors, and they serve an incredibly wide variety of people with all kinds of different needs. There are general counselors, marriage and family counselors, school and student counselors, career and vocational counselors, religious counselors, and gerontological counselors specifically for the elderly.

In all cases, counseling works when the client and the counselor talk to each other and develop a trusting relationship. The counselor listens respectfully to the client's problems. Then the two together work on identifying goals, increasing coping skills to overcome any troubles, and improving useful skills such as communication. The goals of counseling will be different for each person, but generally they include an increased sense of well being, decreased distress and anxiety, resolved crisis, and increased ability and function in daily life.
