About Ann
Ann Stromberg is an Ohio-based Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She supports people working on self-esteem, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is practical and focused on getting people useful tools fast.
Ann bases her approach on the strengths a person already has. She uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work.
How Ann works
She also brings in mindfulness and acceptance strategies when they fit a person's goals. In sessions she takes a holistic view, looking at different areas of life to see what is working and what needs attention. She asks for feedback often so treatment stays relevant and efficient.
The goal is building skills clients can use long after therapy ends. Ann values clear collaboration. She helps people set concrete goals and chooses strategies that the person finds useful.
If something isn’t working, she shifts course rather than sticking to a plan that feels unhelpful. Her background includes clinical, community, and school settings, which shapes a flexible, practical style. She aims to help people develop a more confident, positive outlook and to move beyond the problems they brought to therapy.

Online support options
Approaches for online change and coping
Ann combines cognitive behavioral strategies and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people facing anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take action toward meaningful goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, values, and preferences. That may mean using CBT homework one week and ACT or mindfulness practices the next, based on what shows progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
