How Ann works
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered techniques to follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when people want to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with emotion regulation and to reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when people want brief, goal-oriented support and tools they can use right away. Sessions mix discussion, skill-building, and simple exercises tailored to daily life.
Over three decades of experience inform her steady, practical style. She adapts methods to fit each client rather than applying a fixed routine. The focus is on small, achievable changes that build confidence and improve coping.
People who prefer a warm, nonjudgmental clinician will find her approachable. Her work aims to help people understand themselves better and take next steps toward healthier routines and relationships.

Approaches for online work and practical change
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and shapes sessions around their goals and values. This helps when someone needs a steady, empathic listener and a plan built from their own strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and for changing patterns that feed stress. Sessions often include simple at-home exercises and concrete steps to practice between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working and what needs to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video supports face-to-face conversation; phone calls use less bandwidth; messaging and live chat allow shorter check-ins and ongoing notes. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while still working on real change.
