About Ann
Ann Soule is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) based in Maine who focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma. She speaks plainly and aims to guide people through change. Her background in counselor education and many years in treatment settings shape a steady, direct approach.
Ann has 19 years of experience working in the mental health field, much of it with substance use and related mental health concerns.
How Ann works
She has managed programs in opioid treatment and has helped people navigate addiction, withdrawal from substances, and the emotional effects that follow. That work influences how she plans treatment and sets realistic goals. Her practice blends approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking and behavior patterns and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Solution-Focused techniques help people identify small steps toward goals, and Trauma-Focused methods address past hurts that continue to affect daily life. Ann also pays attention to practical life factors - money worries, work stress, parenting strain, and relationship challenges often come up.
She describes harm reduction, meeting people where they are, and celebrating small wins as central to her style. That makes sessions useful for crisis moments and gradual recovery alike. People can expect straightforward discussion, problem-solving, and concrete next steps.
Ann aims to be a guide at the side, helping clients regain a sense of purpose, rebuild trust in themselves, and move toward healthier patterns.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Ann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, low mood, or patterns that keep someone stuck. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment in a nonjudgmental way; it often helps when someone feels unsure about making a change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She adapts methods during sessions so the work fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method on everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing tracking of progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
