About
Anna Dams, MS, LPCC

Christian Counselor | Blended Family & Trauma Specialist | Life Coach
Credentials & Memberships
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master of Science in Community Counseling from St. Cloud State University and advanced training in evidence-based clinical practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
With over a decade of experience serving individuals, groups, couples, and families, I’m deeply committed to helping my clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and Christ-centered care. My work is guided by the belief that true healing takes place when we integrate clinical wisdom with Christian values and biblical truth in the counseling process. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can experience grace, restoration, and growth—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
I am a proud member of the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), and National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I also serve as a Clinical Supervisor through the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy, mentoring future therapists on their path to licensure.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” – Romans 12:2
Marriage & Couples Counseling
I work with couples at all stages—dating, engaged, married, remarried—helping them deepen communication, resolve conflict, rebuild trust, and realign spiritually. My approach invites couples to anchor their relationship in Christ, cultivate empathy, and develop practical tools that restore connection.
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12
Blended Families & Stepfamily Therapy
A unique area of passion and expertise in my practice is blended family therapy. As someone who understands the sacred calling and complexities of blended family life—both personally and professionally—I am committed to walking alongside couples and families as they navigate the emotional realities of remarriage, co-parenting challenges, loyalty binds, boundary confusion, and communication struggles.
As a recognized provider in Smart Stepfamily Therapy, I use specialized tools and strategies to help families honor each member’s role, foster mutual respect, and build a new foundation rooted in love, grace, shared values, and unity.
“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” – Romans 12:18
Women’s Issues & Identity in Christ
Supporting women is one of my deepest callings. I offer a faith-affirming space for women to explore their identity, overcome shame, set boundaries, heal from trauma, and walk in the truth of who God created them to be. Whether you’re facing postpartum challenges, emotional overwhelm, or relationship stress, I’ll walk beside you with empathy and purpose.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” – Proverbs 31:25
Let’s Begin the Journey
If you are seeking therapy that honors both psychological healing and spiritual truth, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward renewal and peace.
“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” – Psalm 23:3
A Little About Me
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy singing, crafting, and spending time with my family and loved ones. I find joy in meaningful connection, creative expression, and reflecting God’s love in everyday moments.
