Professional statement

Anona King is psychotherapist who works with adults and students navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and periods of transition. Many of her clients are high-functioning individuals who, despite outward success, feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or disconnected from their sense of self. She offers a thoughtful, engaged space where clients can explore these internal struggles while developing a clearer, more grounded way of relating to themselves and others.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy. Anona works collaboratively and with intention—balancing practical tools with deeper exploration of long-standing patterns and emotional experiences. She is particularly attuned to how early experiences shape present-day coping styles and relationships, and She helps clients develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self, allowing for greater flexibility, resilience, and self-trust.

Anona brings a broad and multicultural perspective to her work, informed by her international background and years of clinical experience. She has worked with diverse populations across a range of settings and is deeply committed to providing care that is both evidence-based and personally meaningful. Her style is warm, direct, and engaged, offering both support and honest reflection to help clients move forward.

She offers both in-person sessions in NYC and White Plains and remote sessions via Zoom for clients located in New York State and Connecticut. Sessions are typically held on a weekly basis to support consistency and meaningful progress. Anona also provides a limited number of reduced-fee spots to ensure accessibility while maintaining a focused and sustainable practice.


Message to clients

If you’re functioning well on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck, you’re not alone. Many high-functioning adults reach a point where pushing harder no longer works. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, think more clearly, and regain a sense of steadiness and direction.

I specialize in anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, depression, and complex life transitions. My style is warm, engaged, and direct. Therapy with me is an active, collaborative process focused on slowing things down, identifying patterns, and working toward meaningful, lasting change rather than symptom relief alone.

My work integrates evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, with attention to patterns, context, and pace. I aim to help clients develop greater self-trust, emotional clarity, and a stronger sense of agency in their academic, professional, and personal lives.

I offer therapy in English, with Spanish available upon request, and bring a multicultural perspective to my work.
