Ep14: Anne Luckinbill on building an attachment-based group practice
Manage episode 505623760 series 3670755
Attachment-based group practice is central to this discussion with Anne Luckinbill, LPC, and founder of Seasons Counseling in Virginia. Anne describes her transition from teaching to counseling and explains why attachment theory influences both her clinical work and team culture across four locations. You will learn how a learning-first environment, a comprehensive residency pathway, and a unique multi-stage interview process (which includes AI-assisted red-flag prompts) help her select staff with empathy, ethics, and therapeutic compatibility.
We also examine technology that truly reduces workload: AI-powered note-taking integrated into the EHR to speed up documentation, improve audit readiness, and give clinicians more time with clients. For practice owners, Anne’s story acts as a blueprint for natural growth—saying yes to opportunities, avoiding unnecessary complications, and expanding through teaching, supervision, and culture.
You’ll learn:
• How to structure a residency programme that develops clinicians from graduate level to licensure
• Interview questions that reveal relational skills, boundaries, and values alignment
• How attachment theory informs leadership, supervision, and client retention
• Practical tips and safeguards for AI documentation in insurance-based environments
If you lead a group practice and seek ethical, human-focused growth—with more innovative hiring and less admin burden—this episode will refine your playbook.
