About Ann
Ann Soule is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxiety. She brings 19 years of experience helping people who face addiction, trauma, grief, depression, and relationship strain. Ann writes simply and directly in sessions and aims to help people take small steps that add up to real change.
Ann draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Solution-Focused work emphasizes concrete goals and small, achievable steps.
Her background includes long experience in opioid treatment programs where medication-assisted treatment is part of the recovery process. That work gave her a clear view of how substance use, trauma, and mental health interact. She also has experience with grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and financial and life-purpose concerns.
In sessions Ann talks plainly about coping skills, communication problems, codependency, and ways to repair relationships. She often blends practical tools with trauma-focused strategies when past events continue to cause pain. Her approach centers on harm reduction, meeting people where they are, and celebrating progress.
People who work with Ann can expect goal-focused conversations, skill practice, and a plan they can use between sessions. She supports LGBTQ people as an ally and conducts therapy in English for clients in Maine and beyond within the limits of her practice.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Ann often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and build commitment. That approach works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. This collaboration helps set clear, practical goals for therapy.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer talk sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when you need an option outside normal hours.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using CBT and motivational tools during sessions and practice between appointments.
