About AnnMarie
AnnMarie Lehrer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward support for concerns like depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Her manner is calm and practical for people looking for steady guidance.
She treats sessions as a team effort. Clients talk about what matters most and build small, usable steps for change. That may include practicing new ways to handle strong emotions, testing gentle behavior changes, or shifting unhelpful thoughts that keep anxiety high.
Background and approach
AnnMarie uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice patterns of thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action, and client-centered listening to make space for each person's experience. She also works with techniques from dialectical behavior and emotionally focused methods when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central.
Her work emphasizes practical tools and steady encouragement. Sessions can focus on improving communication, managing overwhelm, coping with guilt or shame, or recovering from past stress. Parents can get help with parenting stress and planning manageable routines.
With six years of experience, AnnMarie brings a direct, empathetic style. She meets people where they are and helps them find achievable steps forward. Conversations are simple, goal-oriented, and paced to what the client can handle.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult feelings that arise. ACT can be useful for persistent anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing practical changes. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping skills that people can practice between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood and can find their own direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that fits. That collaboration helps tailor strategies to what actually helps in daily life.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules. Video sessions suit in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be good for check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, reminders, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on real, usable tools.
