More About Me
Dedicated to guiding you towards personal growth and healing.
Welcome!
I am so happy you are here! I'm Anne, a licensed clinical social worker serving adults in Virginia and DC. With over 25 years of experience, I offer a supportive, grounded therapeutic space where clients can navigate stress, grief, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is warm, relational, and clinically informed—centered on helping you feel understood, strengthened, and empowered.
I’m a native Alexandrian and earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I began my career shortly after 9/11, working with youth and families facing crisis and uncertainty. I later spent two decades in pediatric oncology, supporting patients, caregivers, and medical teams through the profound challenges that accompany childhood cancer. These experiences shaped my deep appreciation for resilience, the power of presence, and the importance of strong support systems.
Today, through Anne Carlson Schirmer, LLC, I provide in-person and telehealth therapy for adults seeking compassionate, clinically grounded care. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you navigate what feels heavy, and support you in creating meaningful, sustainable change.
