How Annemarie works
Much of her career has centered on grief, bereavement, and end-of-life care. She has supported people through traumatic loss, including suicide and overdose, and assists caregivers coping with stress and adjustment to change. In sessions she draws from solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioral techniques, along with motivational interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when helpful.
That mix helps people manage anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and self-esteem concerns while working toward concrete changes. Annemarie aims for straightforward, compassionate conversation. She values being listened to and reflected back honestly.
Outside of work she spends time with her husband and two dogs, plays pickleball, goes to major league baseball games, and travels.

How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method to strengthen a person's own reasons for change and build commitment to goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Annemarie collaborates with each person to learn what they need and which methods feel most helpful. She adapts techniques over time based on progress, preferences, and specific goals so therapy stays practical and client-centered.
Online sessions can fit different needs and schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or work better on a quick break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, jotting down progress, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
