I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to talk through life’s challenges. For the past 19 years, I have worked with individuals and families navigating difficult moments, helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed strength. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I have a special passion for supporting people through grief and major life transitions.

Life can bring unexpected changes such as the loss of a loved one, relationship shifts, career changes, or other transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can process your experiences, feel truly heard, and begin to move forward at your own pace.

Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing grief, anxiety, stress, and life adjustments. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself and feel supported as we work together toward healing and growth.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified Professional Clinical Supervisor (CPCS) with over a decade of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology and have built my career serving individuals navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and high-pressure environments.

In addition to providing therapy, I serve as CEO of Success Brand Behavioral Health, where I lead a team of clinicians and continue to provide direct care. I’ve also worked extensively with youth and families involved in foster care and the juvenile justice system and currently teach graduate counseling students as an adjunct professor.

What this means for you: you’re working with a clinician who understands both complex clinical presentations and real-world stress. I’m structured, experienced, and deeply committed to helping clients move from insight to action.

Anna Thyberg

Anna Thyberg

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I’m Anna. I believe mental health is one of the most universal—and most human—experiences we share. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel grounded, confident, and at peace. My passion for this work comes from seeing how transformative therapy can be when people are given the space and support to truly understand themselves.

With over five years of experience in the treatment field, including three years as a Clinical Director, I specialize in substance use, acute mental health, and life transitions. I work with adults navigating stress, uncertainty, and major turning points, helping them gain insight and move toward stability and self-awareness.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the business world, which taught me the value of clear communication, structure, and solution-oriented thinking. I bring those same principles into therapy—blending empathy with practicality to help you take achievable steps toward a life that feels more stable and fulfilling.

Hello there, my number one priority is to see clients within 1 to 5 business days to begin the process of assisting them with a hot topic known as "Life-ing." Today, I consider myself blessed because I find it rewarding in seeing clients reach their maximum potential. In addition to my mental health background for over 28 years, I have my own life experiences, coupled with being married to a minister, motherhood, and personal trauma, which have proven to be beneficial in my scope of practice.

I have done extensive work with grief/loss, anxiety, relational, premarital, substance use, and Christian Counseling.
