As one of the newest members of Linganore Counseling and Wellness, Anna Soisson brings over 10 years of experience working with adolescents and adults.  She has worked in a variety of settings including secondary schools, college, private practice, and outpatient substance abuse treatment.  Anna enjoys helping clients with a wide variety of concerns including relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, depression, and anxiety.  She is also a certified addictions counselor and has a great deal of experience in that area.

Anna’s training and experience is grounded in a cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused model, but she is comfortable with using a variety of approaches to meet the needs of her clients.  Anna invites clients to work with her in a collaborative, team-based approach.  Clients are invited to actively participate in exploring and identifying thinking patterns and core beliefs that may be contributing to their unwanted feelings and behaviors.  She creates a supportive and compassionate therapeutic environment to allow clients to practice new behaviors and prepare for desired life changes.  Although she encourages clients to take risks and try out new behaviors, she always makes certain that they set the pace of their counseling. 

In addition to working at Linganore Counseling and Wellness, Anna works part-time for Howard County Public Schools with adolescents at the county’s alternative middle school and high school.  At Linganore Counseling and Wellness, Anna offers a flexible schedule with afternoon, evening, and weekend hours.

Anna received her Master’s Degree in counseling in 1999.  She recognizes the need to continually expand her education in counseling and regularly attends relevant trainings and seminars in order to provide the best possible care to her clients.
