About Anne
Anne Marie Briggs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, career questions, and big life changes. Her work also includes coaching to build clearer goals and everyday coping skills.

Background and approach
Briggs brings ten years of clinical experience in Hawaii. That background includes helping people living with chronic illness or disability, caregivers facing ongoing strain, and those handling transitions like new parenthood or end-of-life planning. She also notes experience with multicultural concerns and veteran-related issues.
Her approach emphasizes small, concrete changes rather than abstract theories. Together with clients she identifies manageable steps to improve daily functioning and mood. She aims to create a respectful environment where people can speak honestly about what’s hard.
Many clients work on career decisions, coping with chronic pain or illness, or adjusting after major life events. Others seek support around fertility, postpartum changes, or finding a clearer sense of purpose. Briggs offers these services while keeping each person’s goals central to the work.
Practical approaches and online care
Anne Marie Briggs works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problem-solving and behavioral change. One approach involves teaching skills to manage anxiety and stress through step-by-step practices that reduce worry and improve daily routines. Another approach centers on communication and self-concept work to build stronger self-esteem and clearer personal goals; this looks like role-play, reflective exercises, and planning for small, achievable changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their situation and goals. Together they will adjust methods over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
