About Ann
She draws on a client-centered approach that puts the client's own experience at the center of each session. That means the person sets the pace and priorities while the therapist listens, reflects, and helps identify strengths to build on. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, manageable steps rather than long lectures.
Ann Marie has two decades of experience in social work and brings steady, straightforward support to conversations about life transitions and caregiving stress. She also has a track record helping people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability and those coping with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum challenges.
People come for help with panic, post-traumatic stress, attachment questions, divorce or separation, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. In sessions she pays attention to how symptoms affect daily routines and relationships, and she works with each person to find practical ways to manage those effects.
Her style is respectful and strengths-based. She encourages people to notice what already works and to try new strategies in small steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session according to therapist availability.

How client-centered care adapts to online therapy
Client-centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and values their own perspective. In practice this looks like the therapist listening closely, reflecting what they hear, and helping the person uncover strengths and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with health challenges by keeping the person's goals front and center.Because the method is collaborative, figuring out the best way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how a person likes to receive support. That lets both people shape the approach and adjust it over time based on what is helpful.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so ask to confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy days more easily, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to schedule around medical appointments, caregiving responsibilities, or fluctuating health symptoms. Licensed professionals can adapt pace and tools to match each person’s energy and concentration on any given day.
