Background and approach
Ann pays attention to the everyday effects of these struggles on routines, roles, and relationships. Ann uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking.
She also uses acceptance-based methods to help people live with hard feelings while moving toward what matters to them. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical skills. Ann listens for what matters most to each person and suggests small steps that fit day-to-day life.
She encourages clients to notice progress and to adjust goals as situations change. Over her career Ann has supported people through bereavement, midlife shifts, caregiving stress, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She offers care that balances emotional support with tools for coping.
People who want a steady, solution-oriented therapist often choose her practice.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Ann uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that make anxiety and depression worse. CBT often involves tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and trying small behavioral experiments to see what helps.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on accepting uncomfortable feelings while taking action toward personal values. ACT can help when avoidance fuels anxiety or when someone wants clearer direction during life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann listens to each person's goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time. Together the therapist and client choose techniques that match the situation and that feel doable in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care across locations.
