About Ann
Ann Stancil is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She uses straightforward talk and steady support to help clients clarify goals and take small, practical steps forward.

Ann earned her degree from Indiana University Northwest and has worked in behavioral health since 2009. She has 17 years of clinical experience in a range of settings.
Background and approach
That work included helping people facing depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, substance use concerns, and relationship strain. In sessions she draws on client-centered approaches to listen closely and center each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her toolkit when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Ann commonly helps people with parenting stress, blended family challenges, attachment concerns, and life transitions that disrupt routines or goals. She also supports those dealing with identity-related issues, multicultural concerns, and end-of-life caregiving questions.
Her practical focus means sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and planning specific next steps. Ann works with people in Indiana and conducts video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care fit busy lives.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to identify what matters most. It helps people who want a supportive space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day constraints. Sessions may mix listening, skill teaching, and collaborative problem-solving until a clear plan feels helpful.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls let people connect face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options support flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and steady follow-through on therapy work.
