About Ann

Ann Adams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, mood concerns, and money and financial issues. She also supports people with relationship struggles, addiction history, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Ann combines practical goal-setting with a warm, respectful style.

She writes short-term goals into the first sessions so work stays focused and actionable. Sessions are collaborative and direct - clients get gentle feedback and are encouraged to try small changes between meetings. Ann believes people often have the answers already and helps them find a workable path to those solutions.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to move toward clear outcomes. That mix is aimed at making change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

Ann brings three years of experience as an LMHC and has a background that includes work with addiction and life-coaching style support. She emphasizes respect, dignity, and compassion in every session and aims to help clients build skills for lasting change.

People who are ready to focus on one or two concrete goals at a time tend to do well in her practice. She encourages steady commitment and helps clients develop the habits that support progress.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with respect and treating people with dignity. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through decisions and feelings and to build confidence in their choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and reduce stress and anxiety related to money, relationships, or mood problems.

Mindfulness practice teaches simple ways to notice the present moment without judgment. It can reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation, and make coping with life changes feel more manageable.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking progress and adjusting methods as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows people to try approaches like CBT exercises and mindfulness practices in their everyday settings, then discuss results in the next session.
