About Ann
Ann Huyghe is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan. She has 14 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. Ann aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, respectful approach.

Ann uses straightforward tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Background and approach
She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and choose actions that match their values. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps between meetings. Motivational interviewing and client-centered work shape her style when people need help finding motivation or making sense of hard choices.
She works at a pace set by the person in front of her and checks in about what feels useful. Ann also supports people dealing with attention and mood challenges, obsessive thoughts, phobias, and attachment concerns. Her goal is to help people build skills for daily life and to handle setbacks with more confidence.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values and can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple ways to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental connection and supports self-directed insight and growth.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Together you will adjust techniques and pacing so work aligns with your needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter updates, quick coping strategies, or more frequent check-ins between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
