Her style is warm and collaborative and she aims to help people make changes that fit into day-to-day life.
Ann Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and teach skills.

She brings three years of professional experience to her practice and holds the LISW-CP credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice. Ann Marie tailors sessions so they match a person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Ann Marie guides them through a simple plan: identify priorities, practice manageable skills, and check progress over time. She encourages straightforward conversation and honest feedback as part of making steady changes.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Ann Marie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online conversations in ways that feel practical and focused. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try more helpful responses, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and ground people during strong emotions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans when needed. Clients help set priorities so direct, usable strategies are chosen together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably. Many licensed professionals adapt exercises, worksheets, and between-session tasks to work in remote sessions and help people practice skills between meetings.
