Sessions are conversational and goal driven, with simple tools to use between meetings. Ann Marie brings ten years of clinical experience in Florida to her practice. She has worked with caregivers and people facing aging and geriatric concerns, grief, and chronic stress.
Her background includes supporting folks coping with multicultural and immigration-related challenges, as well as mood and personality concerns. In the room she emphasizes respect for each person's culture and story. She aims to remove stigma around mental health so clients can feel allowed to seek support and healing.
The therapist encourages small, steady steps toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning. Therapy with Ann Marie moves at a client's pace and focuses on practical change. People often leave sessions with a short plan or an exercise to try before the next meeting.
The work is collaborative and centered on the client's goals and values.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to build goals that matter. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to tell their story and identify what they want to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, panic, and mood challenges because it offers clear exercises to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm racing thoughts. It pairs well with CBT when people want tools for coping in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about concerns, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust course as needs change.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the client is located. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when typing is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in, do brief coaching, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around caregiving, work, and travel restraints.
