About Ann
Ann Huyghe is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger. She focuses on clear, respectful conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions. Ann works to meet each person where they are and tailors her approach to individual needs.
With 14 years of experience, Ann draws on several evidence-based methods to guide her work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors.
How Ann works
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of her toolbox for building values-based action when emotions feel overwhelming. Ann also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the person's experience and pace central to the process. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
She brings elements of Existential Therapy to discussions about meaning, purpose, and life transitions. Sessions often focus on immediate coping skills, clearer communication, and small behavioral changes that add up over time. Ann addresses a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and food-related problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
People who reach out can expect straightforward talk, practical tools, and a collaborative plan. Ann encourages questions and works with each person to set realistic goals and measure progress along the way.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT often includes simple homework and skill practice that fits well into video or text formats.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. ACT supports clients who want to live more in line with their priorities even when emotions are intense.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That process can include adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use tools between sessions.
