About Ann Cleland

I\'m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in Austin, Texas, providing trauma-informed, person-centered therapy to adults. My practice focuses on individuals navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, stress, or major life transition. I believe meaningful change happens through collaboration, curiosity, and kindness.Before entering the counseling profession, I spent several years in executive leadership and consulting, supporting individuals and teams through high stress environments, organizational change, and uncertainty. This background informs my clinical work today, particularly my understanding of burnout, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of high-responsibility roles.My therapeutic approach is warm, thoughtful, and practical, grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship. I work collaboratively with clients to develop insight, strengthen coping skills, support emotional regulation, and build resilience during challenging seasons of life.Clinical practice is conducted under the supervision of Jennifer Buffalo, LPC-S, LMFT-S.
