About Annisha

Annisha Dunaway is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Delaware, North Carolina, and Virginia. LCSW indicates advanced clinical training to provide psychotherapy and clinical social work services. She partners with adults and teens who are seeking support for depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, post-traumatic stress, and empowerment.

She is an Army veteran and also serves as a victim specialist with law enforcement, bringing experience from both military and public safety settings to her clinical work.

Annisha frames therapy as a collaborative process grounded in honest, caring, and nonjudgmental engagement. She develops goals in partnership with each person, following the client’s lead to identify what they want to accomplish. Rather than applying a single approach for everyone, she draws from a range of methods to tailor treatment to the individual and the situation. She is known for a warm, open, encouraging, and direct style.

Her practice focuses on creating a supportive space to process difficult emotions and to nurture the courage to accept imperfection. She views challenges and life changes as opportunities to examine one’s path and to draw on inner strengths when redirecting the future.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many individuals.

One of the primary advantages of remote work is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that feels most comfortable to them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access care from different locations.

Licensed professionals offer these remote options, and if someone needs a different fit they can switch therapists at any time. For many, online therapy provides an accessible, effective way to work on personal goals with a trained therapist.
